Tunisian democracy group collects Nobel Peace Prize

| EDIT

Tunisia’s Nobel Peace Prize winners have set a global example that conflict can be avoided though dialogue and tolerance. The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet received the prize yesterday. Nobel committee chairperson Kaci Kullmann Five said the Quartet helped pull the country back from civil war in 2013.
It is credited with creating a dialogue between the country’s Islamist and secular coalition parties. The Quartet, made up of the country’s key labour, legal, human rights and business organisations, was formed in 2013 at a time when the revolution that overthrew President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 appeared to be unravelling.
Trade unionist Hassine Abassi, lawyer Mohamed Fadhel Mahfoudh, human rights activist Abdessatar Ben Moussa and business representative Ouided Bouchamaoui collected the award at a ceremony in Norway’s capital, Oslo.
