Nobel Committee slams China over Liu Xiaobo's death
The Nobel Committee has criticised China over the death of Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo, who had been diagnosed with liver cancer while serving an 11-year jail sentence. The committee said China bears a "heavy responsibility" for Xiaobo's death. Xiaobo was jailed in 2009 for "inciting subversion of state power" and was not allowed to leave the country for treatment.
