OSLO, Norway — Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan and Kailash Satyarthi of India received the Nobel Peace Prize on Wednesday for risking their lives to help protect children from slavery, extremism and forced labor at great risk to their own lives. The 17-year-old Malala, the youngest ever Nobel winner, and Satyarthi, 60, collected the award at a ceremony in Oslo City Hall in the Norwegian capital to a standing ovation. As Malala received her award, an asylum seeker from Mexico ran onto the stage waving his country's flag, which he had apparently smuggled into the heavily guarded ceremony without an official invitation, police said.
