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.

许逸舒:陈光诚律师事件的反思


在公民自由联盟的网站上,我不只知道了获得2010年诺贝尔和平奖却被中国政府关押的刘晓波博士,还认识了受中国政府迫害的盲人律师陈光诚。陈光诚,一位自学法律知识,帮助村民及残疾人维护权益的赤脚律师,却因为山东临沂计划生育事件而被判入狱,出狱后还被软禁在家,不得与外界联系。他的遭遇受到多家外国记者和女网友何培蓉的关注,而我这个中国公民却完全不了解。直到我来了这里,用Google搜索到,他从自己被软禁的家中逃到美国驻华大使馆,是在美国政府的帮助下来到纽约担任访问学者的。当我看到这一幕的时候,我震惊了,一个中国公民连在自己家都被监视着,连同自己的家人都没有自由,而这种监视更是没有任何理由的,也许是中国政府怕陈光诚给他们带来更多“麻烦”。我也不禁在想,在这么守备森严的环境下,陈光诚是如何顺利逃脱,获得美国驻华大使的帮助的呢?原来这一切都要归功于何培蓉及陈光诚的侄子,陈克贵。令人悲愤的是,何培蓉遭到中国官方短暂监禁,而陈克贵也被中国警方以莫须有的罪名抓捕。作为一名中国人,中国政府的一系列行为让我觉得可耻,这还是一个自称是法治之国该做的吗?这一系列的事件如果让全国人民知道,那该会引起多大的动荡啊?我们庆幸陈光诚得以解救来到美国,但是陈光诚还是希望回到中国,谁又知道如果他回去了会有什么在等着他呢?现在身在中国的何培蓉与陈克贵,以及其他政治犯呢?我希望中国政府能够反思自己的行为,让世界人民觉得中国是一个真正有人权的国家,而不是在宪法里作秀的。
