BEIJING — The wife of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, Liu Xiaobo,
was allowed to meet with her
husband on Sunday at the prison in northeastern China where he is serving an
11-year sentence, but she
was then escorted back to Beijing and placed under house arrest, a human
rights group said.
Prison officials had informed Mr. Liu that he won the award — a decision
vehemently condemned by the
Chinese government — the day before. In their hourlong visit, Mr. Liu’s
wife, Liu Xia, said her husband had
told her, “This is for the lost souls of June 4th,” and then was moved to
tears.
Hundreds died June 4, 1989, when Chinese troops and tanks crushed pro-
democracy demonstrations in
Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. Mr. Liu told his wife the award commemorates
the nonviolent spirit in which
those who died fought for peace, freedom and democracy, the group, Human
Rights in China, said in a
statement.
In Beijing, Ms. Liu’s telephone and Internet communication has been cut off
and state security officers are
not allowing her to contact friends or the media, the statement said. Nor
can she leave her house except in
a police car, according to the group. Her brother’s phone has also been “
interfered with,” the statement
said.
Mr. Liu, who was active in the 1989 movement, spent the next two decades
pressing for political reform in
China. A 54-year-old former literature professor, he was one of the main
authors of Charter ’08, a pro-
democracy manifesto that calls for expanded liberties and the end to single-
party rule in China.
Roughly 10,000 people signed the document before the government blocked its
circulation on the Internet.
Based on his pro-democracy writings, Mr. Liu was convicted last December of
“inciting subversion of the
state.”
The Chinese government has described Mr. Liu’s award as “blasphemy” and
has imposed a blackout on
news about it. Security in some areas has been tightened, and the road to
Jinzhou prison in Liaoning
Province, where Mr. Liu is held, has been blocked.
On Friday night, the police detained 20 bloggers, lawyers and academics who
gathered for a celebratory
banquet at a private room in a Beijing restaurant. By Sunday night, 10
guests had been released, according
to a prominent activist, Zhang Zuhua, another of Charter ’08’s main
authors. Three were given eight days in
detention for disturbing the peace, and seven have been escorted out of
Beijing, Mr. Zhang said.
The Chinese journalist Zan Aizong sent a Twitter message on Sunday saying
that Chinese Internet media
outlets had been ordered to post a Xinhua News Agency article that Russian
media were attacking the Nobel
Peace Prize as a “political tool of the West.”
Analysts speculated that Chinese leaders would gather soon to define the
Communist Party’s position on
the Nobel award. Until then, Nicholas Bequelin, a Hong Kong researcher for
Human Rights Watch, predicted
that government agencies would tread carefully.
“The statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is almost word
for word what they have said
before,” Mr. Bequelin said. “The treatment meted out to dissidents and
lawyers is the regular one. Everyone
is sitting tight and awaiting instructions from the top.”
Several key Chinese officials are currently out of the country, including
Zhou Yongkang, a member of the
Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party’s Central
Committee.
