China Sentences Brother-in-Law of Laureate
By EDWARD WONG
The 11-year prison sentence is being widely seen as political persecution of the Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo.
The laureate behind bars
Oct 8th 2010, 12:58 by J.M. | BEIJING
Officials might one day choose an opportune moment to use the release of their Nobel-decorated dissident to win plaudits from Western governments. As Mr Liu has observed, China “has learned that by forcing famous dissidents into exile it kills two birds with one stone: it gives the dissidents a way out and wins favour with the international community; it also gets rid of direct political opponents, and belittles the moral image of dissidents within the country.” Mr Liu will now have to worry about such a fate for himself.
Why are the individuals and organisations awarded a Nobel Prize called Nobel Prize laureates?
The word "laureate" refers to being signified by the laurel wreath. In Greek mythology, the god Apollo is represented wearing a laurel wreath on his head. A laurel wreath is a circular crown made of branches and leaves of the bay laurel (in Latin: Laurus nobilis). In Ancient Greece, laurel wreaths were awarded to victors as a sign of honour - both in athletic competitions and in poetic meets.
The 2021 Nobel Prize laureates will be revealed from tomorrow, starting with the medicine prize!
