Bill Clinton and Bradley Manning nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Also on the list is jailed US soldier Manning, who has been charged with 22
counts in a US military court for turning over a massive cache of classified
US documents to anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks.

Despite its current crisis the European Union is also among the candidates, as
are Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege, Cuban dissidents Oswaldo Paya and Yoani
Sanchez, and Russian rights group Memorial and its founder Svetlana
Gannushkina.

Yet others include US political scientist Gene Sharp, known for his theory of
non-violent resistance which inspired some of the key figures behind the
Arab Spring, Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki who was brought to power in
2011 by the revolution in his country, and television news channel
Al-Jazeera.

The winner or winners will be announced in October.
