Nobel Peace Prize faces boycott over Liu Xiaobo
China and 18 other countries have said they will not attend Friday's Nobel Peace Prize ceremony for Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has said.
Russia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran are among those that refused.
Chinese officials earlier said a "vast majority" of the world community would stay away from the ceremony.
The committee describes Mr Liu as "the foremost symbol" of the human rights struggle in China.
