Six awards were awarded in the categories: National Print; Periodicals; Photojournalism; Radio; Television Documentary; and Television News.[1][2]

The award ceremony, held on Wednesday 19 June 1996, was hosted by Shahnaz Pakravan.[3]

The overall winners were The News Team at ITN Channel 4 for their coverage of "War Crimes in Bosnia". The overall award was presented by Ken Wiwa.

During the awards there was a strong reaction[clarification needed] to the radio award for BBC Radio 4's series "Out of the Fire" produced by Marc Jobst and researched by Shirley Pope.

Marc Jobst said: "I'm enormously proud to receive this award from Amnesty International because I have such respect for their work. The programme they awarded was about Dana Tep and her daughter Ramoni who were subjected to slavery under the Khmer Rouge..."[4]

Dana and Ramoni Tep received a standing ovation at the ceremony, as they bravely chose the occasion of the AIUK Press Awards to come out from years of hiding to reveal their true identities.[4]

Delta Force tells the story of the non-violent efforts of the Ogoni people to halt 30 years of environmental damage, suffering and inequality on the Niger Delta. Delta Force opens with the arrest of Saro-Wiwa and the subsequent implementation of "Operation Restore" in Ogoniland--the military campaign of terror waged against the Ogoni people in an attempt to suppress their environmental campaign against oil drilling by Shell International. Also includes interview excerpts with Ken Wiwa, son of Ken Saro-Wiwa.
