Liu should return the peace prize

Dear Editor,

China has every right to be annoyed over the Nobel Peace Prize given to the dissident Liu Xiaobo; that award was made purposely to embarrass China, I am certain the committee responsible for giving the prize was pressured by the US and other Western powers.

In fact one has to be sceptical about a Nobel Prize now. Just imagine, Obama got his as soon as he became president, and soon after intensified the bombings and sent more forces into Afghanistan. Am I to understand Obama got his Nobel Prize for peace?

I feel Liu should return the prize.

Yours faithfully,
W P George
