Zmitser Bandarenka: They could have give Nobel Prize to Earth

The decision of the Nobel Committee looks strange.

“My opinion is biased, by I am so upset that Ales Byalyatski didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. I regard the decision to give the Peace Prize to the European Union as very strange. They could have awarded Earth with the same result. Awarding the European Union is even more painful for Belarusians, because it is due to EU officials that the Belarusian human rights defender was thrown into prison.

We know many people, who didn't win the Nobel Prize, but made significant contributions to history. The main thing is to release Ales as soon as possible,” former political prisoner Zmitser Bandarenka comments for charter97.org on awarding the EU with the Nobel Peace Price.
