Liu Xiaobo, the jailed Chinese dissident who received the Nobel Peace Prize for his writings promoting democracy and was imprisoned in northeast China, has been moved from prison to be treated for late-stage liver cancer, according to his lawyer Shang Baojun on June 26, 2017. Shang Baojun said “It seems to be very serious, very serious. If it was an early stage of cancer, then that would be easier to treat. But at this late stage, the treatment seems much more difficult.” He disclosed that 61-year old Liu Xiaobo was hospitalized in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province.
