The above link takes you to a news article about Liu Xiaobo, another topic restricted by the Great Firewall of China. Liu Xiaobo is currently serving a prison sentence in China. He is a human rights activist and was arrested for "inciting subversion of state power." On October 8th, 2010, Liu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China." Although being awarded the prize, he is still serving his term in prison. China did not want anyone to find out he had won it, so they immediately put blocks on the news on the day he won it.
