朴春子： 要求释放刘晓波

自从加入中国公民自由联盟以来，我多次参加了在纽约中国领事馆前的抗议活动，要求释放刘晓波，归还公民的言论自由。

刘晓波是个作家，在2008年写了一篇文章，“零八宪章”， 号召在中国实现依法治国，言论自由，以及政府由人民选举。因为这篇文章，刘晓波在2008年的世界人权日前一天，也就是2008年12月9日，被拘留，并在2009年12月25日圣诞节被中国政府以”煽动颠覆国家政权罪“判处11年有期徒刑。在2010年，挪威的诺贝尔委员会将当年的诺贝尔和平奖颁发给了刘晓波，以表彰他为中国的民主转型做出的杰出贡献。

我认为，刘晓波就是写了一篇文章，表达了自己的政治观点，属于他的自由，也就是表达自由，根本不构成犯罪，中国政府以他写的一篇文章将他判刑入狱，是完全错误的，我要求中国政府立即释放刘晓波，归还公民的言论自由。

李长洙：抗议中国政府封锁GMAIL电子邮箱

一个星期前,中国政府将谷歌公司的GMAIL电子信箱完全封锁了，这样中国国内的人们完全不能通过GMAIL的信箱和国外的朋友联系了。中国政府封锁GMAIL，完全是因为谷歌公司拒绝和中国政府合作，审查电子邮件的所谓敏感内容，比如对于六四民主运动的讨论，刘晓波获诺贝尔和平奖，以及维权律师陈光诚的事情等。

中国政府封锁了GMAIL，是希望中国国内的人们不再能够了解到那些中国政府不喜欢他们知道的内容，可是这是徒劳的，因为现在是属于信息时代，封锁了GMAIL，那些渴望了解真相的人们还是能够通过别的手段知道中国到底发生了什么事情。

我抗议中国政府封锁GMAIL，要求中国政府开放GMAIL在中国的服务，让谷歌公司重新回到中国，让人民享有言论自由和网络自由。

"Gmail, Gmail, Gmail" (抗议封锁Gmail）

On Dec 30, 2014, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", a human rights organization based in New York, USA, held a rally across from the Chinese Consulate in New York in protest over Chinese government's blockade of Gmail of the Google.

Starting from yesterday, the Gmail service was halted in China by the Chinese government because Google refused to censor contents in the Gmail communications. This triggered a outcry and fury in China as well as overseas, because many students and scholars rely on the Gmail service to apply to schools in the United States and for academic use. 

Google was forced to pull out of China a number of years ago because it refused to do evil by censoring search results on its search engine. 

"Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" strongly protest the blockade of the Gmail service in China and demand that the Chinese government restore the service to all the people in China, and allow free flow of information. 

Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attending today's rally include: Wei Haoxing(韦浩星）, Shen Xuehua（申雪花）, Piao Yingmei（朴英美）, Che Mingji（车明姬）, Jin Shanyu（金珊玉）, Xiong Liangfeng（熊良丰）, Wan Wenguo（万文国）, Cui Haiyan（崔海燕）, Jin Dayong （金大勇）, Xu Yingyu (许英玉）, Chen Jinfeng（陈晋锋）, Ren Hongliu（任宏留）, and Li Juhua（李菊花）.
