Liu Xiaobo (Chinese: 刘晓波; pinyin: Liú Xiǎobō) (born 28 December 1955) is a Chinese literary critic, writer, professor, and human rights activist who called for political reforms and the end of communist single-party rule. He is currently incarcerated as a political prisoner in Jinzhou, Liaoning.
Liu has served from 2003 to 2007 as President of the Independent Chinese PEN Center. He was also the president of Minzhu Zhongguo (Democratic China) magazine since the mid-1990s. On 8 December 2008, Liu was detained because of his participation with the Charter 08 manifesto. He was formally arrested on 23 June 2009 on suspicion of "inciting subversion of state power". He was tried on the same charges on 23 December 2009, and sentenced to eleven years' imprisonment and two years' deprivation of political rights on 25 December 2009.
During his fourth prison term, Liu was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize for "his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China." He is the first Chinese citizen to be awarded a Nobel Prize of any kind while residing in China. Liu is the third person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while in prison or detention, after Germany's Carl von Ossietzky (1935) and Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi (1991). Liu is also the second person (the first being Ossietzky) to be denied the right to have a representative collect the Nobel prize for him.
The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are prizes awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine. They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributions to the field of economics. Each recipient, or "laureate", receives a gold medal, a diploma, and a sum of money, which is decided by the Nobel Foundation, yearly.
Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace. Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years. In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the laureates were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK. The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.
China has dismissed criticism over the death of prominent political dissident Liu Xiaobo. Tributes continue to be paid to the Nobel laureate, who was serving an 11-year prison sentence when he died aged 61 from liver cancer. International pressure is now growing on China to release the activist’s wife, Liu Xia, who is under house arrest.

Speaker(s): Professor Perry Link Recorded on 22 November 2012 in Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House. In this lecture, Professor Perry Link will discuss the thinking of Chinese dissident, Liu Xiaobo, and the prospects for political change in China. Liu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 for his long struggle on behalf of democracy in China while serving an 11-year prison sentence for "incitement to subvert state power". His main crime was to draft "Charter 08", a petition calling for an end to Communist Party rule, that was signed by a large number of Chinese intellectuals.

http://www.hrw.org Liu Xiaobo, one of the most outspoken critics of the Chinese government, spent a year and a half in prison after the 1989 Tiananmen Square peaceful protests, and in 1996 was imprisoned for three years for criticizing China's policy toward Taiwan and the Dalai Lama. Last year, he was sentenced to a further 11 years for co-authoring Charter 08, a petition to mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A former university professor, Liu Xiaobo won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. Human Rights Watch honors Liu Xiaobo for his fearless commitment to freedom of expression and assembly in China.
In her first interview since being detained, Liu Xia says she never expected Chinese authorities would hold her under house arrest for more than two years after her jailed activist husband, Liu Xiaobo, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010. (Dec. 6)
The enduring love story of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo and Liu Xia.
(27 Jun 2017) China has described the case of Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo, who had been held in detention until his recent transfer to a hospital after being diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, as a "domestic affair", and says other nations should not interfere. Liu was diagnosed in May this year, according to Chinese prison authorities on Monday, and has been transferred to a local hospital in the Shenyang province. During a regular briefing on Tuesday, Lu Kang, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, said no nation had the right to make irresponsible remarks about China's domestic affairs, and declined to comment on whether China would consider transferring Liu to another country for treatment. Liu, a literary critic and essayist, was already in less than robust health when ...
China has refuted foreign criticism over its treatment of the late Liu Xiaobo, saying he received the best treatment during his fight against cancer.

Inside Story - How scared is Chinese government of political dissent? Liu Xiaobo was banned from making speeches, barred from publishing his writings, locked up and left to die in state custody. China's most prominent dissident and only Nobel peace prize winner has been cremated in a private ceremony and his ashes scattered at sea. He died on Thursday suffering from liver cancer. He was serving an 11-year prison sentence because of his calls for peaceful democratic reforms. Tributes have poured in world-wide, but there is little mention of him in his own country. And there are concerns for his wife. Liu Xia was allowed to attend her husband's funeral. But she is unwell after being under house arrest since he became a Nobel laureate seven years ago. Liu was the first to die in state c...

His book "No Enemies, No Hatred" includes essays on law, corruption, humor, sex, the world-view of farmers, the rise of the Internet, ancient Chinese thought, the weaknesses of We...
On Christmas Day, 2009, Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment and two years deprivation of political rights for “inciting subversion of state power”. Two days before his sentence, he wrote his “I Have No Enemies: My Final Statement”. It was intended to be read out in court but he was not allowed to finish reading it. A year later, Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His death on Thursday made him the second winner of that prize to die in captivity. The first, Carl von Ossietzky, who was awarded the prize in 1935, also died in hospital while detained by the Nazi regime. Like Liu, he had been banned from collecting the award himself. Governments and organisations around the world had pleaded for Liu to be allowed to leave China for treatment. Here in Hong Kong, pro-B...

(l. Sepe)
Stanotte non scrivero' niente per te
Non te lo meriti
Oppure faro' un eccezione purche'
Il mio domani mi eviti
Di tornare ancora sulle mie parole
E di perdonarti tutto cio' che fai
Ma dopo questo ultimo giorno di sole
Giura che te ne andrai
Tra cuori e picche non c'e' ipotesi
Non c'ho creduto mai
Ma due troppo impegnati a viversi
Lo sai non hanno guai
E ti cadono dagli occhi le parole
Proprio quelle che tu non mi hai detto mai
Ma dopo questo ultimo giorno di sole
Giura che te ne andrai
Lasciami andare, devi capire
Nel nostro sole, non c'e' avvenire
Mi porto addosso ancora il tuo odore
Ma questo e' l'ultimo giorno di sole
E adesso che non hai da perdere
Spiegami come mai
Se non hai mai saputo piangere
Ora perche' lo fai?
Forse e' vero che il valore di chi ama
Si comprende solo quando poi va via
Ma adesso e' tardi per tornare indietro
Il sole e' solo una bugia
Lasciami andare, devi capire
Nel nostro sole, non c'e' avvenire
Mi porto addosso ancora il tuo odore
