Nobel Peace Prize 2010: Liu Xiaobo

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 is the Chinese intellectual Liu Xiaobo.

He was born December 28, 1955 and he is a human rights activist who is little known inside China.

He was in the Tiananmen Square protest in 1989, so since that year until now, he has been in prison and labor education camp four times for his peaceful political activities.

In fact in June 1989 after the Tiananmen Square protest, Liu Xiaobo was detained in the Qincheng prison and he was released in 1999.

In 2004 when he started to write a Human Right Report of China at home, his computer, letters and documents were confiscated by the government. Liu's human rights work has received international recognition in 2007.

In 2010 he won the Nobel peace prize for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China.
