Liu Xiaobo, Chinese Dissident Who Won Nobel While Jailed, Dies at 61

quote [ Mr. Liu, who was convicted in 2009 of inciting subversion and sentenced to prison, was given medical parole recently to be treated for late-stage cancer. ]

Liu Xiaobo, a human rights activist who protested the one party system, is the only person to have received the Nobel Peace Prize while still living in mainland China.

Sadly he is also the only Nobel laureate to die in custody since the Nazi era. His death has marked an increase in censorship in China, with the first confirmed cases of Images In One-To-One Chat being censored.


The image belived to have stardet the censorship, showing him with his wife dealing with his condition.
