Asif MahmoodThe Nobel Peace Prize was meant to honor those who heal wounds and build bridges. The campaign to present Mahrang Baloch as a candidate for the world’s most respected award exposes how easily a prize for peace can be turned into a tool of propaganda. This is where the credibility of the Nobel Prize itself begins to crack. If the Nobel Prize allows itself to be hijacked, it will not remain a badge of honor. It will become an “IGnoble Peace Prize”, a reward not for peacemakers, but for those who thrive on conflict and cloak violence in the language of rights.
