CONDITION OF LIU XIAOBO WORSENS, ALL MEDICINE SUSPENDS|劉曉波肝癌末期 近日病情急速惡化

The condition of Chinese Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo, who is in the late stage of liver cancer, has worsened over the past two days that he could no longer receive any treatment. The medical team has suspended all western and traditional Chinese medicine administered for Liu and asked Liu's family to prepare for the worst. The First Hospital of China Medical University that was assigned to treat Liu Xiaobo stated that Liu's condition has worsened that he could no longer receive any treatment. The medical team has decided to suspend the use of all target drugs and Chinese medicine for Liu and will only give him painkillers or tranquilizers. The information has been confirmed by Liu's family and his friends. The hospital has asked Liu's family to be prepared for what is to come within the next 24 hours. Many NGOs have urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to allow Liu to leave the country for urgent medical treatment. The European Parliament also called for the release of Liu and his wife. However, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that China is a country of rule of law and that no individual case should be used to interfere in China's internal affairs. ==GENG SHUANG Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, China== China's judicial system protects the rights of all those serving in jail according to the law. We hope that other countries should respect China's judicial independence and sovereignty and not interfere in China's internal affairs. The 61-year-old dissident writer was sentenced to prison for 11 years in 2009 for "inciting subversion of state power" after he helped write a petition known as "Charter 08" calling for sweeping political reforms. The Nobel Committee decided to award him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.
