Edward Snowden, the fugitive American former intelligence worker, has made the shortlist of three for the Sakharov prize, Europe’s top human rights award.
The other nominees are Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot for daring to suggest that women should be allowed to have an education, and “a group of Belarusian political dissidents jailed in 2010.” Confidential to Snowden: If you win, you probably shouldn’t attend the award ceremony.
