Section: General News - Scores of people gathered in central Hong Kong to demand freedom for Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo and other Chinese dissidents, as the award ceremony in Oslo went on without the imprisoned laureate. This is the only public event to mark the event in China.

A man carried a big picture of Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo in the dark.

"Free Liu Xiaobo." he demanded.

He is one of scores of Hong Kong residents who gathered Friday evening to mark the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony.

But with Liu Xiaobo in jail in the mainland, the vigil was also a protest to demand his freedom and those of other imprisoned dissidents.
