Mo Yan, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature, called for jailed Chinese activist Liu Xiaobo to be freed, hours after the Communist Party trumpeted his award as a sign of China’s growing influence.
“I wish for him to be freed in good health as soon as possible,” Mo said of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner, speaking at a briefing that was broadcast on Hong Kong’s Cable TV yesterday. “I feel he absolutely can continue studying his politics and social structures.”
