A Chinese lawyer who represents Nobel Peace Prize winner who has been jailed Liu Xiaobo told the BBC that he intends to file a lawsuit against the Chinese authorities to trip him when trying to leave China. Mo Shaoping said the decision by the Chinese police to stop attending the conference in London was not valid. Mo said he was told that if he left China, it could “threaten state security.” But he said the authorities suspected he might have planned to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Liu.

China has reacted with anger toward giving the Nobel prize for Liu, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in December 2009 on charges of subversion, after helping to write a petition calling for political reform that was signed by thousands of people. The lawyer said the immigration officer had stopped him at the Beijing airport as he prepared to board a flight to England to attend the conference attorney.

He told the BBC that he was brought into the room and they said that he could not travel abroad because it could threaten state security. “I asked for a written notification, but police said they did not have anything on paper, but orders from the Beijing Public Security Bureau said that we could not leave China,” said Mo to the Chinese Service.

“We will follow the legal procedures in China and filed a lawsuit against them … that reason does not make sense. It’s against the law,” he said. Mo said officials did not explicitly mention the award as a reason why it denied permission for his trip, but he believes the connection to Liu is the reason he was dismissed. He said he wanted to visit British Prime Minister David Cameron to raise the issue of Liu Xiaobo during his visit to China at this time.
