Chinese Nobel prize winner's wife detained
Found on CNN News on Saturday, 09 October 2010
Despite being allowed to tell her husband he won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, the wife of Liu Xiaobo was detained in her apartment in Beijing, China, according to a human rights group and her attorney.
Upon hearing he had received the peace prize, Schwanke said, Liu Xiaobo began to cry, and said, "This is for the martyrs of Tiananmen Square."
The Chinese government was angry at the win, calling it "blasphemy against the peace prize" that could harm relations between China and Norway, where the Norwegian Nobel Committee is located.
It actually would be great if the "relations" would be harmed; making business with a dictatorship is not much different than supressing the people there yourself by supporting the regime.
