Who We Are

This organization was founded in May 2008, and its former website, http://www.cfcr2008.org/, has been constantly under attack since its appearance in June 2008. Attackers have compromised this website in 2010 and placed malicious code on it. We warn that this website is not to be opened even if it is back to normal. This website, http://www.gongminziyoulianmeng.blogspot.com/, shall serve as official site of "Coalition for Citizens Rights".

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.

许哲俊:由毕福剑事件及言论自由之我想


4月6日,央视名嘴毕福剑在饭桌上唱评讥讽毛泽东的视频在网上流行。期间,必福剑对已故中共党魁毛泽东进行“调侃”,称其“把我们害苦了”
四月七日深夜,央视发出将暂停播放毕福剑主持的所有节目的通告;十日,陆媒报道,毕福剑已被央视内部停职,称其正接受调查。
在我看来这段视频,只是宣泄个人情绪,是言论自由表达,这完全是无可非议的,属于言论自由的范畴,他人无权干涉。可是毕福剑为何又道歉了呢?
目前中国是独裁专制,一个人的言行只要触及到党和政府就要受到强权的压制,甚至判刑、座牢。毕福剑在强权和利益权衡之间,没有勇气捍卫自己的言论自由的权利,选择了利益的诱惑,放弃了本该拥有的权利。如此口是心非,表里不一,确实虚伪,实乃小人之举。
言论自由,毎个人都应该争取。既然说了只要不触及到法律,要尊重事实,勇于承担,没有必要向任何人道歉。因为这是属于你自己的观点,是你的自由。
希望中国政府,允许毎个人发表自己意见的权利,用宽容的心态对待不同于自己观点的看法,这样社会才有进步。
