Nobel laureate's wife slams house arrest

  • 12 years ago
The wife of jailed Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo has used her Twitter account to condemn her house arrest as "illegal."

The online messaging service has become Liu Xia's last link to the outside world.

She's been confined to her home since Friday when her husband was awarded the prize.

Our correspondent Melissa Chan has been trying to reach Liu Xia, but has been blocked by authorities.
