Political prisoner, Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo dies at age 61
By CHRISTOPHER
BODEEN, GILLIAN WONG
and HAN GUAN NG
Associated Press
SHENYANG, China —
Imprisoned for the seven
years since he was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize, Liu
Xiaobo never renounced the
pursuit of human rights in
China, insisting on living a
life of “honesty, responsibility
and dignity.” China’s most
prominent political prisoner
died Thursday of liver cancer
at 61.
His death — at a hospital
in the country’s northeast,
where he’d been transferred
after being diagnosed —
triggered an outpouring of
dismay among his friends and
supporters, who lauded his
courage and determination.
“There are only two words
to describe how we feel
right now: grief and fury,”
family friend and activist Wu
Yangwei, better known by
his penname Ye Du, said by
phone. “The only way we can
grieve for Xiaobo and bring
his soul some comfort is to
work even harder to try to
keep his influence alive.”
The 1989 pro-democracy
protests centered in Beijing’s
Tiananmen Square, by Liu’s
account, were the “major
turning point” of his life. Liu
had been a visiting scholar at
Columbia University in New
York but returned early to
China in May 1989 to join the
movement that was sweeping
the country and which the
Communist Party regarded
as a grave challenge to its
authority.
When the government
sent troops and tanks into
Beijing to quash the protests
on the night of June 3-4, Liu
persuaded some students to
leave the square rather than
face down the army. The
military crackdown killed
hundreds, possibly thousands,
of people and heralded a more
repressive era.
Liu became one of
hundreds of Chinese impris-
oned for crimes linked to the
demonstrations. It was only

the first of four imprison-
ments.
His final prison sentence
was for co-authoring “Charter
08,” a document circulated
in 2008 that called for more
freedom of expression, human
rights and an independent
judiciary.
“What I demanded of
myself was this: Whether as a
person or as a writer, I would
lead a life of honesty, responsi-
bility, and dignity,” Liu wrote
in “I Have No Enemies: My
Final Statement,” which he
was prevented from reading
aloud at his sentencing in
2009. He was sent to prison
for 11 years on charges
of inciting subversion by
advocating sweeping political
reforms and greater human
rights in his country.
A year later, he was
awarded the Nobel Prize. The
Norwegian committee lauded
Liu’s “long and non-violent
struggle for fundamental
human rights in China.”
The
award
enraged
China’s government, which
condemned it as a political
farce. Within days, Liu’s wife,
the artist and poet Liu Xia, was
put under house arrest, despite
not being convicted of any
crime. China also punished
Norway, even though its
government has no say over
the independent Nobel panel’s
decisions. China suspended
a bilateral trade deal and
restricted imports of Norwe-
gian salmon, and relations
only resumed in 2017.
Dozens of Liu’s supporters
were prevented from leaving
the country to accept the
award on his behalf. Instead,
Liu’s absence at the prize-
giving ceremony in Oslo,
Norway, was marked by an
empty chair. Another empty
chair was for Liu Xia.
In recent days, supporters
and foreign governments
urged China to allow him to
be treated for cancer abroad,
but Chinese authorities
insisted he was receiving the
best care possible.
On Thursday, the Nobel
Committee said Beijing bore a
heavy responsibility for Liu’s
death. But it also leveled harsh
criticism at the “free world”
for its “hesitant, belated reac-
tions” to his serious illness
and imprisonment.
“It is a sad and disturbing
fact that the representatives
of the free world, who them-

for those rights for the benefit
of others,” said the organi-
zation’s chairwoman, Berit
Reiss-Andersen.
German
Chancellor
Angela Merkel said Liu
Xiaobo was a “courageous
fighter for civil rights and
freedom of opinion.” Former
President George W. Bush
saluted Liu as a man who
“dared to dream of a China
that respected human rights.”
U.S. Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson, meanwhile, urged
Beijing to release Liu’s wife
from house arrest and allow
her to leave the country if she
wishes.
Liu was born on Dec. 28,
1955, in the northeastern
city of Changchun, the son
of a language and litera-
ture professor who was a
committed party member.
The middle child in a family
of five boys, he was among
the first to attend Jilin Univer-
sity when college entrance
examinations resumed after
the chaotic 1966-76 Cultural
Revolution.
After spending nearly two
years in detention following
the Tiananmen crackdown,
Liu was detained for the
second time in 1995 after
drafting a plea for political
reform. Later that year, he
was detained a third time after

co-drafting “Opinion on Some

in a three-year sentence to
a labor camp, during which
time he married Liu Xia.
The couple’s friends and
supporters described the
dissident and his soft-spoken
wife as being deeply in love.
In the same statement Liu
had prepared for his trial, he
addressed his wife.
“Your love is the sunlight
that leaps over high walls and
penetrates the iron bars of my
prison window, stroking every
inch of my skin, warming
every cell of my body,
allowing me to always keep
peace, openness, and bright-
ness in my heart, and filling
every minute of my time in
prison with meaning,” he said.
“But my love is solid and
sharp, capable of piercing
through any obstacle. Even if
I were crushed into powder,
I would still use my ashes to
embrace you.”
