The 20-year-old student Olluri has in Jan Myrdal's spirit gone systematically about to "show the foolishness, the hypocrisy and the double standards that regularly govern our public conversation in both Sweden and the rest of the Western world", it says further in the motivation, according to a press release.
Jan Myrdal's small prize, the so-called Robespierre prize, was established in 2010 as a complement to the larger Lenin prize, and is awarded by Lasse Diding to a younger Swedish writer or artist who "works in a power-critical spirit".
The prize amount is 25,000 kronor.
