Freedom Fighter
An interview with Oleksandra Matviichuk, the Ukrainian human-rights lawyer whose organization is a 2022 Nobel peace laureate.
Oleksandra Matviichuk is a Ukrainian human-rights lawyer. She heads the Center for Civil Liberties, in Ukraine. I talked with her last Monday, when she was in New York for a session of the Oslo Freedom Forum. On Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that the Nobel Peace Prize this year would go to the Center for Civil Liberties, along with Memorial — the human-rights organization in Russia (now outlawed by the Kremlin) — and Ales Bialiatski, a Belarusian political prisoner.
