Protestors fight for the release of Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo’s wife

Members of the League of Social Democrats took to the streets again, rallying outside the Liaison Office in the Western district to fight for the release of Liu Xiaobo’s wife.

 

Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo had been jailed as a political prisoner in China and his wife, Liu Xia, has been put on house arrest. However, Liu Xia’s mental and physical health have been deteriorating and she suffered from a heart problem last month. Protestors are therefore, urging Beijing to release Liu Xia from house arrest so that she can get proper medical attention.
