Belarusian opposition leaders have been awarded the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
Sviatlana Tikhanovskaya received the award in Strasbourg.
Belarus has been in a political crisis since a controversial presidential election in August.
Incumbent Alexander Lukashenko claimed to have won with a landslide, but the opposition regards Tikhanovskaya as the real winner.
