We continue our coverage of Liu Xiaobo, the imprisoned Chinese dissident who was announced this morning as the winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. To learn more about Liu, we speak with a man who has known him for over 20 years. Wan Yanhai directs an AIDS awareness group, and was jailed in his home country of China three times in the past 12 years. He fled to Washington, D.C. earlier this year, and has been celebrating Liu’s honor all morning.
Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
