Peace Noble Prize in 2010

Liu Xiaobo was a Chinese literary critic, writer, poet, anti-communist, human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who called for political reforms and was involved in campaigns to end Communist single-party rule. He was incarcerated as a political prisoner in Jinzhou, Liaoning. On 26 June 2017, he was granted medical parole after being diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and he died in hospital on 13 July 2017 when he was 61.
During his fourth prison term, Liu was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize for "his long and non-violent fight for fundamental human rights in China". Liu was the first Chinese citizen to be awarded a Nobel Prize of any kind while residing in China. He was the third person to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while in prison or detention. Liu was one of the most important human right activist. He wanted to change

Born in the northern province of Jilin in 1955, Liu was part of the first generation of Chinese students to go to university after the cultural revolution. When pro-democracy protests broke out in Beijing in the spring of 1989, Liu was lecturing in New York but decided to return despite having previously shown little interest in politics. “He thought: ‘This is where I should be and this is where I can make a contribution. So I am going there’,”  He was jailed for almost two years for his leader role in what Beijing called “counter-revolutionary” riots. This gave him more reasons to fight for democracy and in 2008 it was jailed again. He had to be there until 2019, but he died with liver cancer.

I have chosen this person because of his pacific fight and his revolutionary ideas to achieve the equality and democratic communism in China. He was the leader of the resistance and inspired people all over the world. All the democratic governments supported him in his fight and he was an idol for Chinese citizens.

European immigrant politics

Hi, I’m Jabi and I’m going to write about refugees and immigrants. I will give you information and then my personal opinion about it. This is my first post blog so sorry if there is any mistake. First of all, it’s important to know what’s a refugee . It is a person who has been forced to leave a country in order to escape from war, persecution or natural disaster. I’m going to focus my attention in migrants that come to Europe for a better life. The conflict in Syria continues to be by far the biggest driver of migration. But the  violence in Afghanistan and Iraq, abuses in Eritrea, as well as poverty in Kosovo, are also leading people to look for new lives elsewhere. As BBC informs, 350,000 people emigrated from Syria to Europe. However, more than 1 million immigrants arrived in total in 2015. As you can see in this graph, Germany received the highest number  of asylum claims in its territories. Hungary and Sweden are also requested by the refugees and the migrants. Spain ha
