中国人得的第一个奖。估计从此国人就不会喜欢这个奖了。
OSLO — Imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China," the committee announced Friday.
The group praised Liu, saying there was a "close connection between human rights and peace."
He was jailed for 11 years for last December for writing a 2008 manifesto with other Chinese activists that calls for free speech and multi-party elections.
The former literature professor rose to prominence as a strike leader during protests on Tiananmen Square in 1989.
He was later jailed for 20 months and then spent three years in a "labor re-education" camp during the 1990s, as well as months under virtual house arrest.
The prize puts China's human rights in the spotlight at a time Beijing has sought to play a bigger role on the global stage. It is likely to enrage the Chinese government, which warned the Nobel committee about giving the award to Liu.
