Democracy In China: Bittersweet Victory

Vancouver Society Dept: Chau, a longtime Vancouver activist fighting for democracy in China, was thrilled with Liu's win. But it was a bittersweet victory, as Liu remains imprisoned by the Chinese government, according to Vancouver Sun. Chau organized a rally for noon today in front of the Chinese Consulate on Granville Street to build on the momentum of Liu's prize and to renew calls for his release from jail and henry Chau stayed up until the wee hours of Friday morning, waiting for the 2 a.m. announcement from Norway that Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo had won the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. "In one way we are celebrating, but he is still in jail and nothing in China has changed over the years so it is sort of frustrating," said Chau, president of the Vancouver Society in Support of Democratic Movement since 1994. As reported in the news.
