This year’s Nobel Peace Prize is going to jailed Belarus rights activist Ales Bialiatski, the Russian group Memorial and the Ukrainian organization Center for Civil Liberties, the award’s judges said Friday.
Berit Reiss-Andersen, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said the judges wanted to honor ”three outstanding champions of human rights, democracy and peaceful coexistence in the neighbor countries Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.”
“Through their consistent efforts in favor of human values and anti-militarism and principles of law, this year’s laureates have revitalized and honored Alfred Nobel’s vision of peace and fraternity between nations, a vision most needed in the world today,” she told reporters in Oslo.
The award follows a tradition of highlighting groups and activists trying to prevent conflicts, alleviate hardship and protect human rights.
Last year’s winners have faced a tough time since receiving the prize.

Stockholm, Oct 3 (Ians) Swedish geneticist Svantee Paabo, whose work provided key insights into human evolution and and how humans spread around the planet by achieving “the seemingly impossible task” of cracking the genetic code of the Neanderthals was Monday announced as the winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The Prize committee said Paabo – the son of 1982 Nobel laureate Sune Bergstrom and one of the founders of the discipline of paleogenomics – performed the “sensational” feat of discovering the humans’ previously unknown relative – the Denisovans – whose genes can still be detected in some inhabitants of south Asia.
“Say good morning to our new medicine laureate Svante Paabo!
“Paabo received the news while enjoying a cup of coffee. After the shock wore off, one of the first things he wondered was if he could share the news with his wife, Linda,” the committee said in a tweet.
