Norwegian Authors Union Freedom of Expression Prize

The Norwegian Authors Union Freedom of Expression Prize (Ytringsfrihetsprisen) is an annual prize given by the Norwegian Authors Union. It is not to be confused with the Freedom of Expression Prize of the Fritt Ord organization. Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was awarded it in 2002, Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser won it in 2007,[1] and Burmese author Ma Thida won it in 2011.[2]
