(MENAFN) The Nobel Peace Prize-winning Chinese activist Liu Xiaobo, who has terminal liver cancer, has requested treatment for his condition overseas.
He has been seen by German and American specialists in China and they confirmed he was in the final stages of the disease.
The First Hospital of China Medical University said on its website that the cancer had spread to his entire body. Mr Liu had accumulated a large amount of abdominal fluid and his condition was "quite serious," it added.
"He again expressed a desire to go abroad for treatment, preferably in Germany, though the US would also be fine, and his family members said the same," Mr Shang told AP. "We sincerely hope this request will be approved."
