Liu Xiaobo - Nobel Peace Laureate

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.

@vectoor91 hey buddy sorry cos it seems i forgot to reply..i don't know how you got those 'facts' but i do hope that you can come to china and see what's really happening here cos media itself is always biased. i also believe in the creed of democracy, but it takes time. think about the wars in iraq, afghan, and libya. have they brought the light of democracy or just ignited the hatred? it is those arm dealers and politicians that have earned quite a sum. maybe democracy helps none others.

Be careful when dealing with anyone who believes that injustices, disparities, and disparages are not always been the roots cause of wars. I have seen videos who claim their race is superior to others. I have seen racist pro-white, pro-black and others like Nazis who deny the world war 2 holocaust and the 1915 genocide of Armenians by the Turkish nation. People who discriminate should be exposed hoping they can learn to end hate along with racism and bigotry.

I am surprised that American businesses and investors to include other nations, continue to make deals with the People's Republic of China. The consumers are also part of the problem. Democratic and Republican elected officials are the ones to blame. The fractured US Tea Parties only complain and do not offer to cooperate to find solutions to injustices, disparities, and disparages that has always been the roots causes of wars. Religions should provide peaceful guidance.

Organizations can distort the truth to hide the injustices of nations, business and their associations, law enforcement, the military, the intelligence and private security communities. They write to distract to ensure no-one will ask well formulated questions to find the truth. I tried legally exposing corruption and injustices - with no assistance from elected officials and the mainstream media including the New York and Los Angeles Times. Anyone can know my name - by clicking on airforcemax.

I think Liu Xiaobo's supporters are all from Hong Kong. People in mainland China don't even get a chance to know who he is.

We revere our Nobel Prize winners...they put theirs in prison! They need to learn that Mao was one of the most evil men in history, responsible for the deaths of 90 million people (more than Hitler, Stalin & Pol Pot combined). Children in China are brainwashed into believing that this evil ogre was a national hero! They even have statues of Mao in public! Imagine a statue of Stalin in Moscow or Hitler in Berlin today?!

The evil PRC used to be able to burn books, they can't destroy the internet!
