Liu Xia and Liu Xiaobo. They are both prisoners of conscience.

The wife of jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, Liu Xia, has been able to have medical examinations and treatment, and her health condition has improved. She had been prevented from receiving the treatment she needed after suffering a heart attack in January. She continues to be held under illegal house arrest in Beijing.

Liu Xia, 53, has had medical examinations and treatment at several different hospitals in Beijing. The examinations have suggested that she is mainly suffering from psychological stress, anxiety and depression, and the doctors warned this is likely to become worse unless her current living condition changes.

Several members of the New Citizens' Movement, a transparency movement led by Xu Zhiyong, are facing trial.

The New Citizens' Movement is a loose network of activists campaigning for officials to declare their assets. It also organises dinner gatherings to discuss social issues.
