The article also mentions a previous hospitalisation this year because of heart issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,774 Posted August 19, 2021 Definitely a chance. https://www.ruetir.com/2021/03/14/walesa-hospitalized-on-video-he-says-i-dont-know-if-we-will-meet-again-ruetir/ Lots of aging Nobel Peace Prize laureates currently who could be on DL soon. Tutu (1984) and Gorbachev (1990) both 90 this year (Tutu's birthday will be in October) Frederik Willem de Klerk (1993) has cancer and I'd say is quite likely to be included next year. Martti Ahtisaari (2008) hasn't been seen in public for a year and went pretty quiet after catching covid in March 2020. Looked bad in paparazzi pictures from June 2020. A chance for next year as he used to be very active before covid. Adolfo Pérez Esquivel (1980) still looks great despite the fact that he'll also be 90 later this year. Óscar Arias (1987) used to have some health issues, don't know about his current condition but looks great in pictures. He's 80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted August 27, 2021 As someone who got a unique pick for Vaclav Havel, Walesa must be worth a shot (in fact I was surprised to find he is still alive) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks okay and probably gonna recover, but definitely a name to watch at this point. Probably dead within a couple years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
