Liu Xia has been under house arrest in her Beijing apartment since her husband was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 and subsequently arrested. Over the past two years she's reportedly only been able to visit her parents and her husband in jail; she's had no contact with the outside world. It's believed her husband Liu Xiaobo irritated the Chinese government as a writer and human rights activist, openly calling for an end to communist party rule. Al Jazeera's Bhanu Bhatnagar reports.
