OSLO – A Norwegian member of the parliament on Wednesday said he had nominated WikiLeaks for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, saying the whistleblower website was a gauge of transparency in the world, including in democratic societies.
Jailed Chinese dissident “Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for his struggle for human rights, democracy and freedom of speech in China,” Snorre Valen, a member of the Socialist Left Party that is part of the ruling left-leaning coalition, pointed out on his blog.
