Re:Snowden Seeks Assurance from Norway It Won’t Extradite Him by vintermann on Friday April 22, 2016 @03:23AM (#11547565)
The Ossietzky price is awarded by the Norwegian branch of PEN. Carl von Ossietzky was the first Nobel Peace Prize recipient who wasn't able to receive his prize in person (he was ill and imprisoned in Nazi Germany), so it's a symbolic point for them to award it in the same place Ossietzky would have received his price, i.e. in the town hall of Oslo.

TBH it'd be even more powerful if Snowden could not receive the prize: "Western Europe is now at a point not reached even under the Third Reich."
