Congratulations to Mr Liu - his imprisonment remains a sign of how far China has yet to travel.
Here is the statement Mr Liu made to the court when being sentenced:
I hope to be the last victim of China's endless literary inquisition, and that after this no one else will ever be jailed for their speech.
Freedom of expression is the basis of human rights, the source of humanity and the mother of truth. To block freedom of speech is to trample on human rights, to strangle humanity and to suppress the truth.
