In China, win Nobel Peace Prize, end up in prison

Tragic tale of Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner, Liu Xiaobo, and his wife; the former resides in prison, the latter isolated under house arrest. The rule of law is often synonymous with liberty, but that is far from the case here. As once Chinese official said, “China is a country under the rule of law. Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to imprisonment by China’s judicial authorities for violating the law.” Law is what people make it.
