In this year's Nobel Peace Prize, human rights activists in Belarus and human rights organizations in Russia and Ukraine were selected for their long-standing efforts to protect the right to criticize power and the basic human rights of citizens.
In Oslo, the capital of Norway, on the 9th, prior to the award ceremony on the 10th, officials who were selected for the Nobel Peace Prize held a press conference.
Among them, Oleksandra Matychuk, head of the Ukrainian human rights group Center for Civil Liberties, said, "Russia has committed war crimes in many countries of the world for many years, but because it went unpunished, they believed they could do anything. We need international courts to hold Russian President Vladimir Putin, Belarusian President Lukashenko and other criminals accountable."
“Unfortunately, the human rights situation in Russia is very bad and dangerous. Many people have been imprisoned and persecuted for a long time. There are also people who continue to work in order to protect this, because society demands it,” he said.
Meanwhile, Belarusian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Alesi Byaljacki was unable to attend the award ceremony last year after being detained by the authorities and imprisoned, so his wife Natalya Pinchuk will attend on his behalf. At the press conference, Mr. Pinchuk said, "I can't even exchange letters with my husband," and appealed for the improvement of the human rights situation in Belarus.
