Leading Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has been jailed for 11 years for “inciting subversion of state power”, after a trial condemned in the West.
The trial, from which Western diplomats and journalists were barred, followed Mr Liu’s co-authorship of a document last year urging political reform.
Several people were apparently hurt at a Hong Kong protest over the sentence.
The human rights group Amnesty International condemned the sentence, saying freedom of speech was at stake.
