Zubair's Name Emerges But Did Not Win The Nobel, Nominated to stop hate speech; 7 cases of inciting religious sentiments against him

This year the Nobel Peace Prize (Nobel Peace Prize 2022) has been given to one individual and two organizations. The award has been jointly given to Belarusian Human Rights Advocate Alis Belyatske, the Russian Human Rights Organization Memorial and the Ukrainian Human Rights Organization Center for Civil Liberties. Everyone works for human rights. The award was announced in the Norwegian capital Oslo.

Earlier, Time magazine had mentioned the names of India's fact checker Prateek Sinha and Mohammad Zubair for the Nobel Peace Prize. Both run a fact checking website named 'Alt News'. Zubair has been in constant controversies. He was arrested for inciting religious sentiments. He is currently out on interim bail from the Supreme Court after being in jail for 22 days.

Giving information about the nominations of Zubair and Prateek, Time Magazine wrote – Prateek Sinha and Mohammad Zubair are constantly fighting misinformation in India. Here the Hindu nationalist party BJP is often accused of discrimination against Muslims. Sinha and Zubair have done the job of debunking the rumors and fake news circulating on social media. At the same time, they have been curbing hate speech.
