📸: #LiuXiaobo in 1999; taken by his wife #LiuXia from her photography series - ‘Ugly Babies’ Liu Xiaobo (刘晓波) was a writer, critic, human rights activist and philosopher who called for political reforms and end of communist one-party rule in China. Liu was a visiting scholar at several overseas universities but returned to China to support the 1989 #TiananmenSquare protests. He was imprisoned multiple times for inciting subversion of state power, because he wanted to call for more #freedom of expression, #humanrights and #democracy He was arrested again in 2009 and sentenced to eleven years of imprisonment. In 2010 in prison, Liu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China." China is known for repression and ill-treatment of political prisoners. Tibetan lama Tenzin Delek Rinpoche who was denied medical parole, died in a Chinese prison while serving a life sentence. His family was refused permission to view his remains or death records. Chinese prisons are notorious for poor healthcare, food and abusive conditions. “Given his influence and his massive following, it’s possible that Beijing does not want him to return to society healthy, physically capable and energetic,” said Hu Jia, a political dissident. On 26 June 2017, Liu was sent to a hospital after being diagnosed with end-stage liver cancer and died two weeks later on 13 July. His wife Liu Xia was put under house arrest for eight years for visiting him in prison. Bao Tong, a former high-ranking Communist Party official said, “So long as you are living as a Chinese citizen, you are in a constant state of defending your rights, because your rights are in a constant state of being infringed upon.” President Xi Jinping has expanded crackdown on anyone who speaks ill of China worldwide with the enactment of the Hong Kong national security law on 30 June 2020. Anyone deemed a threat by the #Chinese Communist Party who is passing through #China or its claimed territories - #HongKong #Macau, can be arrested and extradited to China. #monday #humanity #art #inspiration #instagood #politics #society #culture #FreeAssange #UnlikelyYou https://www.instagram.com/p/CClqzgXhbvQ/?igshid=sh5u1dw09ht4
