Chinese Dissident Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

8 October 2010

LONDON — The Nobel Committee awarded its annual peace prize on Friday to the imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.

A year after the committee, based in Oslo, Norway, stunned many people by awarding the $1.46 million prize to President Obama, it said on Friday that it had been awarded to Mr. Liu for his long nonviolent struggle for human rights in China.

Mr. Liu won over rumored challenges from contenders in Afghanistan and Russia. The prize is often contentious when it is awarded to candidates from divided or repressive societies whose governments are angered by the honor given to their adversaries.

The Chinese authorities had urged Norway not to award the prize to Mr. Liu.

While the candidates usually provoke a wave of advance rumors, the committee shrouds its deliberations in near-hermetic secrecy. The five-member committee said in advance of Friday’s award that it had received a record 237 nominations, 38 of them for organizations before nominations closed in February. Mr. Liu had been the favorite.

The prize-giving ceremony is to take place in December.

Mr. Liu Xiaobo is a Beijing writer and former literature professor who was given an 11-year prison sentence on subversion charges on Dec. 25, 2009, after urging Chinese leaders to embrace democratic reforms.

We want the change but for better not for worse.
We changed from Sihanouk to Lon Nol: from human rice to pig rice.
We changed from Lon Nol to Pol Pot: from pig rice to no rice with killing.
We changed from Pol Pot to Hun Sen: from no rice with killing to be jailed and full of Yuons in Cambodia.
We will change from Hun Sen to Sam Rainsy: what is better ?
