Dmitry Muratov accepting Nobel Peace Prize medal

Nobel Peace Prize co-winner Dmitry Muratov announced on Tuesday that he will auction off his medal in order to raise money for the refugees in Ukraine.

Muratov, who is the editor-in-chief of the Kremlin-critical Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, received the award jointly with Filipino journalist Maria Ressa last year for what Prize organizers praised as their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.

Now, Muratov is calling on auction houses to sell his medal to aid the millions of refugees displaced by clashes in Ukraine.

At the beginning of March, the Novaya Gazeta also said it would take down articles on Russia's invasion of Ukraine due to Moscow's censorship on critical coverage of the conflict.
