Abstract
- BEIJING -- Liu Xiaobo, an impassioned literary critic, political essayist and democracy advocate repeatedly jailed by the Chinese government for his activism, has won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of ''his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China.'' Mr. Liu, 54, perhaps China's best known dissident, is serving an 11-year term on subversion charges, in a cell 300 miles from Beijing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
