Nobel, 'Orlov condemned for silencing Putin's critics' - Breaking news. The conviction in Russia of dissident Oleg Orlov is an attempt by Putin to "silence" critics.

The Nobel Committee says so. The European Union is "shocked" by the judges' decision, said Josep Borrell, for whom Orlov "did not commit any crime". Borrell also once again asked Moscow for "the immediate and unconditional release" of all political prisoners.
