from Hong Kong said Friday they have accepted invitations from the wife of jailed Nobel peace laureate Liu Xiaobo to attend the prize-giving ceremony in Oslo next month."A couple of weeks ago we had a message from Liu Xia, via friends, asking us if we could sent Szeto Wah and Albert Ho to the award ceremony in Norway," Hong Kong rights activist and Legislative Council member Lee Cheuk-yan said.
Szeto, a veteran activist and former legislator, confirmed in February that he was undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer, and Lee said he would be traveling to the ceremony in his place along with Democratic Party chairman Ho.
