2010 Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to jailed Chinese dissident

His name is Liu Xiaobo and he was a student advisor to the group who protested in Tianenman Square in 1989. He is perhaps the most famous jailed Chinese dissident. One of those people corrupt government officials just don't know what to do with, so leave him in jail. Likely forever.
But thankfully, gratefully, the Nobel group has recognized his efforts and awarded him the 2010 prize for peace.
Perhaps he will be freed one day and more importantly, will live to see freedom restored to his homeland....
