Swedish journalist Christina Doctare returns her 1988 Nobel Peace Prize in protest against the Academy awarding the 2019 literature prize to Srebrenica genocide denier Peter Handke
Christina Doctare strongly objected to recognition of Austrian writer who is known for his anti-Bosnian stances.
Swedish journalist Christina Doctare will return her 1988 Nobel Peace Prize to the Royal Swedish Academy on Tuesday in protest against the awarding of the 2019 literature prize to Austrian writer Peter Handke. Handke denies the 1995 Bosnian genocide and is a supporter of late Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic.
The 77-year-old Handke was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature despite his open support of Milosevic, who died of a heart attack in his prison cell in 2006 while being tried for war crimes and genocide at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
