NEW: Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Belarusian human rights advocate Ales Bialiatski and two groups, Memorial, a human rights organization from Russia and the Center for Civil Liberties, which is based in Ukraine.
October 7, 2022, 5:10 AMThe Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to Belarusian human rights advocate Ales Bialiatski and two groups, Memorial, a human rights organization from Russia and the Center for Civil Liberties, which is based in Ukraine.
As a result of his work, Bialiatski was jailed from 2011 to 2014 and arrested again in 2020. Currently he is being detained without trial, the committee said. Memorial, founded in 1987 under the former Soviet Union, grew to become the biggest human rights organization in Russia. It "became the most authoritative source of information on political prisoners in Russian detention facilities," according to the announcement. Perils attached to the work -- in 2009, the head of the group's branch in Chechnya was killed.
And the Center for Civil Liberties, founded in 2007, has dedicated itself to making Ukraine a "full-fledged democracy." Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, it has "engaged in efforts to identify and document Russian war crimes against the Ukrainian civilian population."
