A grim vigil</p>
<p>Dissident <strong>Liu Xiaobo</strong> 刘晓波, out on medical parole from his 11-year prison sentence to have his terminal liver cancer treated, has been seen by <strong>two doctors from the U.S. and Germany</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>The foreign doctors <a href="http://supchina.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05fc7fc9529b01bb9bd1abfa7&id=aad7a2ba2d&e=b3d625469d" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">contradicted Chinese government statements</a> that Liu was too sick to travel.</li>
<li>The <em>Global Times</em> published an <a href="http://supchina.us11.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=05fc7fc9529b01bb9bd1abfa7&id=720da9201a&e=b3d625469d" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">edited video clip</a> (with no context) of the German doctor praising the Chinese doctors who have been treating Liu. Also circulated by an unknown leaker: images and video of Liu’s wife at his bedside surrounded by a medical team, including the foreign doctors.</li>
<li>The <strong>German Embassy posted a note of “deep concern</strong>…that certain authorities have evidently made audio and video surveillance recordings of the medical visit of Mr. Liu Xiaobo by a German doctor…against the expressed wishes of the German side.”</li>
<li>German Chancellor <strong>Angela Merkel </strong><a href="http://supchina.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05fc7fc9529b01bb9bd1abfa7&id=b4f8026952&e=b3d625469d" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">appealed to Beijing</a> for “a signal of humanity” toward the dissident.</li>
