"(The police) are sitting there waiting for me to get my things together," US-based Radio Free Asia quoted Liu's wife, Liu Xia, as saying late Friday.

Liu Xia told the broadcaster that the police said they planned to take her to Jinzhou but she was worried that she could be held under house arrest at another place outside Beijing.

"They said I could see him (Liu Xiaobo) tomorrow," Liu Xia was quoted as saying.
