The chair of the Norwegian Nobel committee, Berit Reiss-Andersen, called for the release of Bialiatski, who was detained last year. While the prize will be seen by many as condemnation of Vladimir Putin, who is celebrating his 70th birthday on Friday, Reiss-Andersen denied it was an anti-Putin award.
