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.

万文国:要求释放刘晓波


刘晓波已经被关进中国的监狱快6年了, 他在2008年写了一篇文章,叫做"零八宪章",呼吁在中国实现民主自由, 人权法制,结果被拘留,然后在2009年以"颠覆国家政权罪"被判处有期徒刑11年.在2010年,刘晓波获得了诺贝尔和平奖,这也是第一次有中国人拿到诺贝尔和平奖.

刘晓波本来就是一个作家,作家就是要写东西,有作品,文章,如果作家不写东西,不能表达自己的观点,那就和普通老百姓没有两样了.当然作家写的东西是自己的看法,对与不对,应当有社会大众去评论,政府不能以一个作家的作品来判刑入狱.中国古代搞了那么多年的文字狱,现在看来是多么残酷.

我要求中国政府立即释放刘晓波,因为他只是在写文章表达自己的观点,根本不是在颠覆国家政权.我也要求中国政府释放所有因言入罪的政治犯.

谈香港占中


香港抗议争取真普选占中,这些抗争者,多是学生,或是二三十岁的年轻人,他们中断学业,工作,放下私利去为公义而抗争。他们的具体诉求就是一个能确保平等政治权利的公平选举制度,不要对某些强权接触倾斜。

香港是自由的土地,是在中共一党专政之下,硕果仅有的土地,这里有新闻自由,言论自由,游行自由,示威自由,集会自由,经济自由,现在占领中环,便是巩固她艰苦奋斗而来的自由,对抗中共的专制,使得成千上万的市民不惜违法抗争。

但是中央却玩弄民主,通过一个虚伪的普选方案去欺骗港人,不惜伤害市民,乃至毁掉香港,去维护它的统治。

公民抗命埋下的民主种子,终会发芽,随着北风,飘满大陆,但愿占中能够感动中央,迈出实现民主中国的第一步。

"Free Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo" Rally (释放刘晓波)

On Nov 4, 2014, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights", a human rights organization based in America, held a rally across from the Chinese Consulate in New York demanding the release of Liu Xiaobo, the 2010 Nobel Prize winner who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for writing an article calling for democracy and freedom in China.


It is the 6th year since the organization held protests in front of the Chinese Consulate in New York demanding the release of Dr. Liu Xiaobo.


Back in 2008, right after the Chinese government detained Dr. Liu Xiaobo, "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" held its first protest at the Chinese Consulate in New York demanding for his release.


However, despite repeated calls for his release from the organization, as well as from people, government, and organizations all over the world, the Chinese government has refused to release Liu Xiaobo. As of today, Dr. Liu Xiaobo is still serving his prison terms in China.


"Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" insists that Dr. Liu Xiaobo's imprisonment is a serious violation of his rights to freedom of speech, and he should be released immediately and unconditionally.


At the protest, a number of people gave speeches in support of Liu Xiaobo, and asked the Chinese government to have him released immediately.


This protest was organized by Xu Zhejun, the acting chairman of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights".



Members of "Chinese Coalition for Citizens Rights" attending today's protest include: Wan Wenguo, Wu Meisong, Huang Yingyu, Jin Lianhua, Han Longzhe, Piao Ri, Wei Haoxing, Xiong Liangfeng, Xu Yingyu, Yang Huisheng, Ren Hongliu, Jin Lianshun, Chen Jinfeng, Yu Jie, Jin Shanyu, Xu Zhejun.

白今顺:为什么我要加入中国公民自由联盟

很多人问我,为什么要加入中国公民自由联盟呢?答案其实很简单,那就是争取自由,为自己,也为那些千千万万的中国人,让所有的中国人都能够像美国人那样过上自由生活。
在中国共产党的统治下,中国人过着没有人权的生活,连生孩子的基本权利都没有。我在中国的时候,亲眼所见有妇女因为想要个儿子,怀了第二胎,可是因为没有政府发的准生证,就被政府干部在光天化日下抓走,送到医院做了流产。这实在是太恐怖了。
还有,我也亲眼看到政府为了赚钱,而把老百姓的房子强行拆毁,殴打房主,虽然没有发生在我身上,我还是看了很害怕。
来到美国,我看到了美国政府没有抓女人去做流产,也没有拆老百姓的房子。每个人都过着没有恐惧的生活。我想,我们中国人什么时候能够像美国人那样过上自由的生活呢,而要达到这个目标,我们每个中国人都要努力,勇敢站出来,争取自己的人权,反对中国政府侵犯我们的人权,因此,抱着这个想法,我参加了人权组织,中国公民自由联盟。
