Oslo. A Russian human rights group, a Chinese dissident and the Internet are among the reported entries for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
Wired magazine's Italian edition says it nominated the Internet for promoting dialogue and democracy. It says the 2003 Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi has signed the nomination.
The awards committee keeps nominations secret for 50 years and kept mum as this year's deadline passed Tuesday. But some nominations are announced by those who make them.
Norwegian politician Erna Solberg says she nominated Russian rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina and her group Memorial. Kwame Anthony Appiah, a Princeton philosophy professor, says he nominated Liu Xiaobo, a recently jailed Chinese dissident.
The winner will be announced in October.
