a number of top Chinese intellectuals linked to jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo from leaving the country, Beijing-based scholars said."I have heard of a lot of similar cases one after the other in recent days," said constitutional scholar Zhang Boshu, who was himself prevented from traveling to Taiwan to observe mayoral elections on the democratically ruled island.
The former professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said at least 10 people, many of whom had signed an open letter in support of the Liu's award in the face of strong official condemnation, had been stopped by border guards since the Nobel committee announced the prize decision on Oct. 8.
