Four years ago, Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to 11 years in prison in China on charges of "inciting to subvert state power" for an article he wrote calling for freedom of speech and constitutional reform. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 for his outstanding contribution to China's peaceful transition to a democratic country.
Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" spoke out at the meeting in commemoration of the 4th anniversary of Liu Xiaobo's imprisonment, and called on the Chinese government to have him released immediately, and return freedom of speech to all Chinese citizens.
Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attending the meeting include: Piao Huazi, Jin Honglian, Piao Hulin, Deng Huanhuan, Lu Aihua, Ming Jian, Bai Jinshun, Jin Lianji, Cui Chunhua, and Xu Zhejun.
