Iran sentences Nobel Peace laureate Narges Mohammadi to seven more years in prison after hunger strike. @AssociatedPress reports:
Iran has sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to over seven more years in prison. Supporters say she began a hunger strike on February 2. Her lawyer confirmed the sentence, which includes charges of "gathering and collusion" and propaganda. Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized the country's strength in resisting pressure from great powers. This comes after recent nuclear negotiations with the U.S. and nationwide protests. The U.S. has moved military assets to the Middle East to pressure Iran. Talks between Iran and the U.S. are ongoing, with uncertain future rounds.
Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw.
The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that Trump “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him"

From MLK Jr's #NobelPeace Prize Lecture
"The Quest for Peace and Justice"

MLK Jr was known of course for his civil rights activism - perhaps fewer know or remember that he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his nonviolent campaign against racism.

Desert Sage on the Nobel Peace Prize, its press coverage, President Trump's peculiar claim to it, and the award's own strangeness.
The nobel committees always send mixed signals.
In one hand, a Jordan born palestinian refugee.
On the other hand, a Netanyahu supporter who said that they stand with Israel to defend occidental values.
Guess who won the Nobel peace prize.
