An independent Chinese writer’s group has welcomed calls by Nobel prizewinner Mo Yan for the early release of jailed fellow laureate Liu Xiaobo, but questioned his stance on freedom of speech.
Some dissidents accused Mo Yan of being a communist stooge after he won the literature award on Thursday.
But overseas supporters of Liu have welcomed comments by the 57-year-old writer, that he hoped the jailed dissident and 2010 peace prize laureate would be freed as soon as possible. Reported by S.China Morning Post 49 minutes ago.
