Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the president of Germany, thanked the Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian human rights advocates who were given this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
Steinmeier responded on Friday to the award winners, saying, “This accolade is well earned for the hard and brave work you have done for so many years.”
They were fostering optimism for democracy in their nations and serving as a model in opposition to the established structures, continued Steinmeier.
This year, the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties, the Russian Memorial Organization, and imprisoned Belarusian human rights attorney Alice Bialjazki all received the world’s most prestigious peace prize.
Steinmeier continued: “The advancement of democracy, human rights, and civil liberties has been greatly aided by these laureates. They resist oppression and oppose the civil society’s unbiased forces “.
The German president commends the recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, calling it a well-deserved honour.
