Palestinian human rights campaigner wins Nobel Peace Prize: Raji Sourani, the first Palestinian to receive the award, was praised for defending and promoting human rights in Palestine and the Arab world for 35 years “under exceptionally difficult circumstances.” Based in the Gaza Strip, the 59-year-old lawyer has been imprisoned several times by both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. “This award means that we must continue to struggle to defend the rights of the victims,” Sourani told the AP in Gaza. arabnews/news/466052#.Ukc0HmbKi7w
