Freedom for Liu Xiaobo and Chen Guangcheng

We call on the Chinese government to release Liu Xiaobo, the 2010 Nobel Laureate for peace prize who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2009 for writing "Charter 08", an article calling for rule of law, freedom of speech and constitutional reform; and freedom for Chen Guangcheng, a blind human rights lawyer who served 4 years and 3 months in prison for providing legal assistance to victims of forced abortion and sterilization and has been placed under house arrest since his release from prison in 2011.

林峰:陈光诚获得美国政治庇护

        2012522日,公民自由联盟的成员在中国驻纽约领事馆旁举行集会,祝贺陈光诚获得美国的政治庇护,来到美国获得自由。
        陈光诚是中国山东省临沂的一个人权盲人律师,他曾经向那些被强迫流产和结扎的受害者们提供法律援助,于2006年被判处43个月有期徒刑。2010年出狱后,他被软禁在家,2011年,他在网上发布了一个视频,揭露被软禁的可怕经历,因此他及其妻子袁伟静受到了政府雇佣的流氓们的毒打。    陈光诚从山东老家逃脱软禁后,进入在北京的美国驻华使馆寻求庇护。几天后又在美国大使骆家辉等美国官员的陪同下前往朝阳医院疗伤养病。2012519日陈光诚先生以纽约大学访问学者的身份,携妻子及两个孩子到达美国。
        人权活动人士为中国盲人维权者陈光诚及其家人赴美感到高兴。美国对华援助协会会长傅希秋说,这是陈光诚等自由战士的胜利之日,对于陈光诚这样的自由战士来说,这确实是一个胜利的、伟大的日子。它证明,建设性对话,再加上国际社会压力,肯定会产生具体的、积极的成果。
        公民自由联盟的成员从心底里欢迎陈光诚先生来到美国,同时,我们也感谢美国政府帮助陈光诚及其家人逃离中国,从此后他们将不再遭受迫害,在美国过上自由的生活。
