BBC News - Nobel Peace Prize faces boycott over Liu Xiaobo

BBC News - Nobel Peace Prize faces boycott over Liu Xiaobo: "'We are against anybody making an issue out of Liu Xiaobo and interfering in China's judicial affairs,' she said. 'We will not change because of interference by a few clowns.'

Mr Liu, 54, was a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.

Last year he received an 11-year sentence for 'inciting subversion' after drafting Charter 08 - which called for multi-party democracy and respect for human rights in China."
