Not exactly on the side of decency if you’re jailing your Nobel Peace Prize winners.

Specifically to this one. The award itself does not deserve its prestige, it has been given to too many criminals and militarists.

True, the meaning and importance is tainted when it’s used as a political tool

Isoprenoid ,

It is always used as a political tool; for good or evil.

The Nobel Prizes themselves were a political tool for Nobel himself.

@Infiltrated_ad8271 agreed. Bialiatski is a tireless human rights activist, very different from some of the other laureates.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Nobel Peace Prize laureate and activist Ales Bialiatski has been transferred to solitary confinement at his prison in Belarus, his wife said Tuesday.

Bialiatski, Belarus’ top human rights advocate and one of the winners of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize, was convicted in March with three colleagues on charges of financing actions violating public order and smuggling, accusations he denied.

The arrests of Bialiatski and his colleagues came in response to massive protests over a 2020 election that extended authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko’s rule and were seen by the opposition and many in the West as a sham.

Bialiatski shared the 2022 Nobel with a leading Russian human rights group, Memorial, and the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties.

Viasna representative Pavel Sapelka told the AP that Bialiatski’s move to solitary confinement could involve restrictions on walks, prison meals and food deliveries.

“The Belarusian authorities are blocking access to lawyers, maintaining an information blackout and openly ignoring international norms with regard to all political prisoners,” he said.
