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.

金莲花:抗议中国政府封锁“纽约时报”网站

今年的10月26日,中国政府封锁了“纽约时报”的网站, 因为纽约时报报道了中国总理温家宝的家族在温担任总理的十年里,财富增加了27亿美元。我对中国政府的粗暴封网行为表示抗议,要求中国政府归还人民的知情权,解封纽约时报的网站。

在西方民主国家,每一个政府官员都要定期向社会公众报告他们的收入和家庭财产状况,这样,社会公众就可以非常容易地知道,这些官员有没有利用手中的权力为自己和家族捞钱。官员的财产申报制度经过反复实践,被证明是行之有效的防止政府官员贪污腐败的制度。

在我们中国,官员财产申报的制度在人大会议上每年都有人提出,但几十年的时间过去了,这条提案就是通不过,据说,99%的人大代表都反对官员财产申报,其原因很简单,这些所谓的人大代表中, 绝大部分都是没有经过人民选举的政府官员,他们通过手中掌握的权力,为自己和家族捞取了巨额的非法财富。他们怎么可能让社会公众知道他们攫取了多少非法财富呢?

这次,纽约时报还报道了温家宝总理90岁的母亲都拥有1.2亿美元的股票,而温总理的母亲毕生都只是一个小学老师。她手里的财富是哪里来的?还不是用温总理手中的权力换来的。所谓的改革开放30年,社会财富迅速向一小撮人手中集中,贫富差距迅速扩大,从温总理母亲手中的1.2亿股票,就可以看得非常清楚了。

为了社会的公正,为了我们的政府真正为人民服务,为了防止政府官员的贪污腐败,我们需要一个言论自由的环境,尤其是互联网的自由。所以,我对中国政府封锁“纽约时报”的网站表示愤慨,这是对中国人民知情权的直接侵犯,我要求中国政府立即将纽约时报网站解除封锁,让人民有机会了解到事情的真相。
