Protesters demonstrate outside the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong on Oct. 8 demanding the release of jailed Chinese pro-democracy activist Liu Xiaobo. Liu won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for decades of nonviolent struggle for human rights, an award that Beijing had anticipated and bitterly criticized. Chinese characters on the placard reads "Congratulate Liu Xiaobo winning Nobel Peace Prize" and "Respect the spirit of Nobel Peace Prize. Release Liu Xiaobo and all dissidents." Bobby Yip/Reuters
Supporters of Liu Xiaobo hold cards that read, "We celebrate Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Prize" outside a park in Beijing, China, on Oct 8. The award ignited a furious response from China, which accused the Norwegian Nobel Committee of violating its own principles by honoring "a criminal." Vincent Yu/AP
On Oct. 8, the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, holds up a photograph of jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, after announcing that Liu is the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010, for decades of nonviolent struggle for human rights, an award that Beijing had anticipated and bitterly criticized. Jagland said on Friday that China, the world's second biggest economy, should expect to be under greater scrutiny as it becomes more powerful, just as the United States was after World War II.

As China celebrates Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in literature this year, 2010 Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo remains in prison and his wife under house arrest. She spoke to AP reporters today.
Stunned that reporters were able to visit her, Liu Xia trembled uncontrollably and cried Thursday as she described how absurd and emotionally draining her confinement under house arrest has been in the two years since her jailed activist husband, Liu Xiaobo, was named a Nobel Peace laureate.
