Liu Xiaobo was recently moved to a hospital under heavy guard for cancer treatment.

China's only Nobel Peace laureate was recently moved to a hospital under heavy guard for cancer treatment. Also, Brazil's Lula has been convicted of corruption and authorities in Beijing are using new detectors to monitor and fine drivers who honk incessantly when stuck in traffic.
