Democracy and Freedom Will Prevail in China (民主必胜，自由万岁）

On October 14, 2014, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", a Chinese human rights organization based in America, held a rally across from the Chinese Consulate in New York calling on the Chinese government to return freedom and democracy to the Chinese people.

They held banners that say "Democracy Will Prevail, Long Live Freedom!", and banners that call for the release of a political prisoner Liu Xiaobo, the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Mr. Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2009 for an article he wrote that calls for democracy, human rights and rule of law in China. He was charged with "inciting to subvert state power".

Since his imprisonment in 2009, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" has been doing everything it can to get him out of jail. It staged a number of protests at the Chinese Consulate in New York, the United Nations, and Washington DC calling for his release.

The "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" that Mr. Liu Xiaobo" was only exercising his freedom of speech, a right that is provided for in the Chinese Constitution, when he wrote this article, "Charter 08". The imprisonment of Liu Xiaobo violated his freedom of speech and is unjustified.

New York Forum on 65 Years of Communist Rule in China

On September 30, 2014, at the invitation of Mr. Xue Wei, chairman of the "Chinese Alliance for Democracy", members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attended a forum in Flushing, New York on "65 years of Communist rule in China".

Hu Ping, chief editor of "Beijing Spring", a pro-democracy journal, gave a lengthy speech on the nature of the Communist dictatorship in China for the past 65 years. He said that the Chinese Communists did two most evil things in China in the past 65 years: in the first 30 years, the Communists robbed all of private properties of the Chinese people; in the second 30 years, the Communists put the looted properties into the private pockets of the high government officials and Communist chiefs. The Chinese government also blocked the internet, controlled the media, and stripped citizens of their rights to freedom of speech and religious belief.

Also speaking at the Forum is Professor Xia Yeliang, a former professor with the Beijing University who was fired from the school because of his pro-democracy expressions. Xia Ming, a professor with the City University of New York, gave a speech on the development of dictatorship of the Communists since it came to power in 1949.

At the Forum, members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" call on the Chinese government to return freedom of speech to all the Chinese citizens and release 2010 Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2009 for an article he wrote, "Charter 08".

Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attending today's forum include: Yang Huisheng, Xu Zhejun, Wei Haoxing, Liu Jingnan, Chen Jinfeng, Wei Jian, Lu Aihua, Wu Meisong, Liu Shunfu, Han Zhongguo, Huang Yingyu, Jin Shanyu, Xu Yingyu, Jin Shanyu, and Han Longzhe.

赵春萍：我为什么加入中国公民自由联盟

我是2011年8月份来到美国的。时间过得飞快，我来到美国也3年多了。来了美国后，我学到了很多的东西，尤其是那些我在中国根本不可能知道的东西，比如诺贝尔和平奖获得者刘晓波，我在国内根本就不知道这个人，因为中国政府封锁了互联网，不让老百姓知道有关他的消息，他们也控制了新闻媒体，任何人都不许讨论报道有关他的事情。到了美国，我才知道刘晓波是我的东北老乡，他因为写了一篇叫做“零八宪章”的文章，号召在中国实行民主制度，政府由人民选举，政府保障人民的言论自由，等等，结果被中国政府抓捕判刑11年，说他写这篇文章是煽动颠覆国家政权，真是欲加之罪，何患无辞。中国政府把他抓了判了，却不敢告诉老百姓为什么把他送进监狱。我来到美国，在这个言论自由，新闻自由的社会里，才知道了这些消息，我感到很气愤，中国政府的愚民政策，封锁消息，把老百姓都当成了傻瓜，不让他们知道事情的真相，是严重侵犯了公民的基本人权。

作为一个中国公民，知道了中国政府做了这么多的坏事，我觉得应当站出来，为争取每个中国人的人权和自由做出自己的一份贡献。一个偶然的机会，我知道了中国公民自由联盟这个人权组织，了解到这个组织就是致力于为中国人争取自由和人权的，我就义无反顾参加了这个组织。

我希望通过我和其他成员的努力，中国人享受美国人那样的自由和人权的那一天能够早日到来。

我为什么加入中国公民自由联盟

朴雪玲

我是作为一个学生来到美国念书的，到了美国后，知道了很多在中国根本不可能知道的东西，比如，刘晓波，他得了2010年诺贝尔和平奖，中国很少有人知道他，因为中国政府用长城防火墙把关于刘晓波的消息都封锁了，刘晓波因为写了一篇文章被判处11年徒刑，这是对他的人权和自由，尤其是言论自由的严重侵犯，作为一个年轻人，我在中国也因为信仰基督教受到过迫害，并且我无法使用FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TWITTER, 因为中国政府害怕中国老百姓利用这些社交网站知道过去发生的事情的真相，比如六四大屠杀，陈光诚事件，等等。我们作为中国人，为了获得做人的基本权利，为了中国人的人权和自由，都要勇敢地站出来，反对中国侵犯人权，只有我们都抛弃了恐惧，我们才能争取到自己的权利。这就是我参加中国公民自由联盟的原因，因为这个组织就是为了中国人的人权和自由而奋斗。
