NSA leaker Edward Snowden received a prize Saturday from the Norwegian Academy of Literature and Freedom of Expression.
The former National Security Agency systems analyst received a standing ovation as a statuette and diploma were put on an empty chair during the award ceremony in the western Norway town of Molde.
Snowden accepted the award via a live video link from Russia.
“We will honor you as the most important whistleblower of our times,” said Hege Newth Nouri, head of the board of the Bjornson Academy.
