The wife of jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo is losing hope that her husband will be released. Friends tried to comfort her by suggesting China would set him free after June's 20th anniversary of the bloody Tiananmen crackdown; then after the 60th anniversary of Communist party rule in October; and finally after Barack Obama's visit last month. "Nothing has changed after all these events so I think the best thing is not to have hope," she says. She hasn't been allowed to see him for 9 months. (via Rebecca MacKinnon)
