After peace prize, China targets winner’s friends (AP)

October 15th, 2010

FILE - In this June 3, 2010 file photo, Chinese Ding Zilin, co-founder of the Tiananmen Mothers, a group representing families of those who died in the 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations, reacts, while talking about her late son who died at 17 in the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, at her apartment in Beijing, China, one day before the 21st anniversary of the incident. The latest appears to be a woman who Liu has said should win the prize: Ding Zilin, who has fought for years for China's government to recognize the hundreds killed in the military's crackdown. Liu's wife sent out an alert late Thursday, Oct. 14, 2010, that said Ding had 'disappeared' and urged people to 'pay attention' to her case. (AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen, File)AP - In the week after Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of promoting democratic change in China, dozens of people who openly agreed with his views say they have been detained, roughed up, harassed or kept from leaving their homes.
