Belarussian pro-democracy campaigner Ales Bialiatski, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize with human rights groups in Russia and Ukraine, is the fourth person in the 121-year history of the Nobel Prizes to receive the award while in prison or detention.
His 1935 Nobel Peace Prize made Nazi leader Adolf Hitler so furious that he prohibited all Germans from receiving Nobel prizes.
The Nobel helped galvanize international support for Suu Kyi, but she remained in on-and-off house arrest until her release in 2010. Suu Kyi was arrested again after a military coup last year and has not been seen in public since, despite calls for her release by the Norwegian Nobel Committee and others.The decision to give imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 deeply angered Beijing, which reacted by suspending trade negotiations with Norway.
