Nobel Peace Prize 2021

En svært aktuell fredspris når Maria Ressa og Dmitrij Muratov i dag mottar fredspris for sitt forsvar for presse og ytringsfriheten. 

2021 Nobel Peace Price is awarded to Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace 

Ytringsfriheten er i store deler av verden under hardt press. Også i det vi liker å kalle demokratiske land, angripes pressefriheten.  Pressens ansvar i en tid hvor enhver kan være publisist på sosiale medier, er av stor betydning. Berit Reiss- Andersen, Nobelkomiteens leder, vektla journalistenes betydning i en tid med desinformasjon og propaganda

The Nobel Peace Prize lectures will be held on 10 December as part of the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony at the Oslo City Hall, Norway. The ceremony starts at 13:00 CET.

The award ceremony and the lectures will be streamed live at nobelprize.org.. 


           Nobel Lecture given by Nobel Peace Prize laureate 2021 Maria Ressa, Oslo, 10 December 2021:

"I stand before you, a representative of every journalist around the world who is forced to sacrifice so much to hold the line, to stay true to our values and mission: to bring you the truth and hold power to account."
