A policeman and security guards monitor

A policeman and security guards monitor the entrance to the block of apartments where Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo's wife Liu Xia has been living under house arrest since her husband won the award, in Beijing on December 7, 2010. Liu Xia has been completely cut off from the outside world since being put under house arrest following the October prize announcement, with her telephone and Internet connections blocked and not being allowed to leave the couple's high-rise Beijing flat. The Nobel Peace Prize will be handed out at a ceremony on December 10 in Oslo as this year's winner Liu Xiaobo continues his sentence in a Chinese prison where he has been since being sentenced on Christmas Day 2009.
