Atilla Yoldaş has been nominated as Online Angel of the Year before and in 2019 he won the title. His motivation was “without doubt and with a clear conviction, Atilla Yoldaş has long put the spotlight where it is needed. Whether it is to draw attention to the vulnerable and threatened or to those who threaten and hate. With a sharp pen and a sharp voice, he creates the conditions for real change – not least by constantly questioning his own role in the whole – but above all by never backing down from what he believes is right.”
