The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Ukrainian human rights organization "Center for Civil Liberties," the human rights activist from Belarus Ales Bialiatski, and the Russian human rights organization "Memorial"

The Nobel Committee announced this on Twitter.

The Center for Civil Liberties was founded in 2007 to promote human rights values. The organization's mission is the establishment of human rights, democracy, and solidarity in Ukraine and the OSCE region to establish human dignity. In 2013, the organization created "OZON" and the "Euromaidan SOS" initiative. It also participated in mobile monitoring groups in the temporarily occupied Crimea and Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In 2015, the organization launched the "Let My People Go" campaign aimed at the release of political prisoners, particularly Crimean Tatars.
