The Nobel Foundation has withdrawn its invitation for representatives from Russia, Belarus, and Iran to attend this year's Nobel Prize award ceremonies. This decision comes after Swedish lawmakers announced they would boycott the ceremonies due to the foundation's change in position. The lawmakers cited reasons such as Russia's war on Ukraine and the crackdown on human rights in Iran. Belarusian opposition figure Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya welcomed the decision, calling it a sign of solidarity. The foundation stated that it would follow its usual practice and invite all ambassadors to the ceremony in Oslo, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded.
