Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Liu Xiaobo
The Guardian, October 08, 2010
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/08/nobel-peace-prize-liu-xiaobo

Imprisoned dissident Liu Xiaobo (刘晓波) was awarded the 2010 Nobel peace prize today in recognition of his "long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China". On December 25, 2009, Liu was sentenced to 11 years in prison on conviction of “inciting subversion of state power,” for six of his essays and for co-authoring Charter 08, an online petition released in early December 2008 calling for human rights and democracy and an end to one-party rule in China.

For more on Liu Xiaobo, including full-text translations of his court documents and several articles, see:
