Beijing Police Stopped Liu Xiaobo from Attending Seminar

Beijing-based dissident writer Liu Xiaobo 刘晓波 was forcibly stopped by the Police when he was on the way to attend a Transition Institute 传知行研究所 seminar.  Liu was a guest speaker for the Institute’s regular Saturday meeting last weekend.  He planned to give a lecture on tragedy in literature.

A Radio Free Asia reporter attempted without success in his effort to verify the story with the Public Security Office in Beijing.

In a subsequent interview with RFA, Liu Xiaobo confirmed that he had been receiving phone calls from the Police since last Tuesday.
