EU honours Chinese dissident

Chinese dissident Hu Jia has won the European Parliament's prestigious Sakharov Prize. Making the announcement in Strasbourg, European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering said this year's award acknowledged the daily struggle for freedom of all Chinese human rights defenders. Hu is a campaigner for civil rights, environmental protection and AIDS advocacy in China. In April, he was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison on charges of inciting subversion. China has criticised the decision to honour Hu Jia as a "gross interference" in the country's domestic affairs.
