Shenyang - China - 15 July 2017: The ashes of late Chinese Nobel laureate and dissident Liu Xiaobo were scattered in the sea on Saturday, his brother said, hours after his body was cremated.

His older brother, Liu Xiaoguang, made the announcement at a news conference organised by the authorities, which have tightly controlled access to the family of the prominent government opponent, who died of liver cancer while in custody on Thursday.
