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.

"Tear Down This Great Firewall in China" Rally (拆除网络长城防火墙,要求言论自由)

On January 13, 2015, "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 calling for the tearing down of the Great Firewall (GFW) and allow freedom of speech in China.

The Chinese government built this Great Firewall on the internet to block free flow of information, and censor contents posted on the internet. People in China are now allowed to log on to websites not permitted by the Chinese government, thanks to the Great Firewall.

For example, facebook.com, youtube.com, twitter.com, nytimes.com, are all banned in China, and recently, gmail service of the Google, because these companies refuse to censor contents on their websites. Google service as a search engine was forced to pull out of China about 6 years ago because it refused to do evil with the Chinese government.

Members of the "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" gave speeches at the protest in condemnation of Chinese government's blocking of the foreign websites and the censorship of the internet, calling on the Chinese government to tear down this great firewall and allow freedom of speech in China.

Members attending today's rally include: Chen Jinfeng (陈晋锋),Xu Yingyu(许英玉), Jin Yushun(金玉顺), Lu Aihua(卢爱花), Piao Yingmei(朴英美), Li Honghua (李红花), Wan Wenguo(万文国), Zhao Meiling(赵美玲), Shen Wenlie(申文烈), 柳顺福, Han Zhongguo(韩中国), Wei Jian(魏坚), Jin Meihua(金美花), Zheng Xinling(郑心龄), Jin Dayong(金大勇), Ren Hongliu(任宏留), Shen Xuehua(申雪花), Huang Yingyu(黄英玉), Jin Shanyu(金姗玉), Li Juhua(李菊花), Yang Huisheng(杨惠升).
