<p>Accepting via a live video link from Russia, the former National Security Agency systems analyst got a standing ovation when the statuette and diploma were put on an empty chair during the award ceremony in the western Norway town of Molde.</p>
<p>He was given the prize, which includes 100,000 Norwegian kroner (€10,800), “for his work on the important issue of the right of privacy”.</p>
<p>Mr Snowden said the United States “suffers its image, its reputation every year that it is standing against human rights”.</p>
<p>If he leaves Russia, he could be extradited to the US, where he faces charges for having leaked details of the once-secret surveillance programs.</p>
