(AP Photo)BEIJING -- The Chinese hospital treating imprisoned Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo says it has suspended use of cancer-fighting drugs so as not to overwhelm his weakened liver. The statement says the medical team has added low-molecular heparin to treat venous thrombosis developing in Mr Liu's left leg. Mr Liu was diagnosed in May while serving an 11-year sentence for inciting subversion by advocating sweeping political reforms. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.
