Prescott (1940–2022)United States Controversies Peace Maathai was criticized for her past comments—reported by the Kenyan newspaper The Standard and Radio Free Europe—stating that HIV/AIDS was developed by western scientists and unleashed upon Africa. Maathai denied having stated them, though The Standard stood by its reporting, and Maathai later hinted in a Time interview that she believed HIV had a non-natural origin, saying that someone knows where it came from and that it "did not come from monkeys".Sindelar, Daisy (10 December 2004).

Literature Shortly before the 2005 Nobel Prizes, Nobel Foundation member Knut Ahnlund resigned and stated publicly that Jelinek's awarding of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature "caused irreparable harm to the value for the foreseeable future" due to Jelinek's "whingeing, unenjoyable, and violent pornography" in her work. Academy head Horace Engdahl later stated that Ahnlund's activity in the academy during and prior to the decision of Jilenek's awarding was minimal and that he thus hadn't been a part of prize deliberations whatsoever.Nobel member quits over 2004 prize https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2005/10/11/nobel-member-quits-over-2004-prize 2024-12-10 Al Jazeera en References Category:Nobel Prize by year Category:2004 awards
