This Oct. 28, 2008 photo shows Liu Xiaobo, right, reading a letter beside the grave of Bao Zunxin, a Chinese historian and political dissident who was arrested and jailed for his role in the 1989 Tiananmen Square democracy protests in Beijing, China. When the police came for Liu Xiaobo, China's best chance in decades to win the Nobel Peace Prize, they couldn't tell him why they were taking him away this time. The line in the detention order for 'motive' was blank. (AP Photo) NO SALES, CHINA OUTAP - When the police came for Liu Xiaobo on a December night nearly two years ago, they didn’t tell the dissident author why he was being taken away again. The line in the detention order for his “suspected crime” was left blank.
