- The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award it to Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov.
- This is “for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace”.

- Dmitry Muratov has for decades defended freedom of speech in Russia under increasingly challenging conditions.
