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.

Veteran Democracy Activist Hosts CCCR Meeting on "Free Nobel Prize Laureate Liu Xiaobo"

On November 19, 2013, Chen Liqun, a veteran democracy activist, who is also adviser to "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", hosted a meeting on "Free Nobel Prize Laureate Liu Xiaobo" at the CCCR office in New York, USA.


At the meeting, Ms. Chen briefed on Liu Xiaobo's article, "Charter 08", and his 11-year prison sentence in 2009, and the awarding of the Nobel Prize Prize to him in 2010, to members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights". She said that it was Liu Xiaobo's freedom of speech in writing this article, and it was a serious violation of his basic human rights by the Chinese government to put him in jail for 11 years because he wrote this article.
