Ukraine, Russia and Belarus campaigners win Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize has been given to one individual and two organisations.
Ales Bialiatski - a human rights advocate from Belarus - takes the award along with Russian human rights organisation Memorial and the Ukrainian human rights organisation the Center for Civil Liberties.
Ales Bialiatski, who is detained in Belarus, is one of three Nobel Peace Prize winners this year
As
we've just heard, the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties (CGS) is one
of the joint winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
CGS
is one of Ukraine’s leading human rights organizations. It was founded
in 2007, when leaders of human rights organizations from nine
post-Soviet countries decided to create a cross-border resource support
centre in Kyiv.
