Enes Kanter Freedom, the National Basketball Association player, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. A Norwegian parliamentarian has nominated him for bringing global attention to China’s human rights abuses in Tibet, East Turkestan [Ch: Xinjiang] and Hong Kong. Freedom tweeted that he is “honoured” and said, “Sometimes taking a stand is more important than your next paycheque” – he risks losing his job because of his outspoken criticisms.
