OSLO. February 3. KAZINFORM A Norwegian lawmaker says he has nominated WikiLeaks for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize; Kazinform refers to Arab News.
Snorre Valen of the Socialist Left Party says the secret-spilling website has promoted human rights, democracy and freedom of speech just like last year's winner, imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
The 26-year-old legislator wrote on his blog Wednesday that WikiLeaks has exposed "corruption, war crimes and torture" through its releases of classified documents. He also cited disclosures of nepotism and corruption in Tunisia's presidential family, saying WikiLeaks "made a small contribution to bringing down" that regime; Kazinform cites Arab News.
