Man disrupts Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony

Nobel Peace Prize laureates Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi were taken unawares when a man carrying the flag of Mexico ran to the dias at the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Oslo on Wednesday.

The awards had just been handed to Yousafzai and Satyarthi, when a man with a camera around his neck ran up to the elevated platform and unfurled the flag of Mexico. 

The exact words said by him are yet unknown. Soon after, security officials blocked the man from going any further and rushed to pull him off the stage. Security officers lead the man away as Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel committee, and Nobel Peace Prize laureates Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi looked on in silence.

The Nobel Peace Prize awards ceremony took place at the City Hall in Oslo, Norway on December 10, 2014. 17-year-old Pakistani girls' education activist Malala Yousafzai shared the 2014 peace prize with the Indian campaigner Kailash Satyarthi, 60, who has fought for 35 years to free thousands of children from virtual slave labour.
