Nobel wife’s house arrest

THE wife of jailed Chinese Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo slammed the government on Wednesday for keeping her under “illegal house arrest” after the US and EU called for her release.

“I strongly protest against the government for my illegal house arrest,” Liu Xia Tweeted.

The US and EU have urged Beijing to let her move freely again, on top of their calls for Liu Xiaobo to be released from prison.
