联署声明:还刘霞及海祭者自由



刘晓波先生在当局的严密监控下于7月13日逝世后,其遗体被迅速火化,骨灰被撒入大海,令群众难以进行悼念。中国政府同时软禁其家属不得与外界联络,甚至对悼念他的民众展开严厉打压。

刘霞自刘晓波于2010年获得诺贝尔和平奖后,长期遭到中国政府的非法软禁、骚扰和严密的监视,除少数亲友外,被禁止与任何人联系,这使她患上严重抑郁症;她同时亦患有心脏病。而自刘晓波7月15日海葬以来刘霞更一直无法与外界接触,连家属也不能直接同刘霞通话联系。

中国政府同时对哀悼刘晓波的中国公民进行了残酷的打压。多个地方陆续有公民被短暂拘留,更甚者,刘晓波头七当晚,十数名公民在广东新会海边祭奠悼念,两日后警方即对参与海祭的人士展开大肆搜捕,迄今已刑事拘留卫小兵、刘广晓、李舒嘉、何林(何霖)、汪美菊(汐颜)和秦明新六人,关押在广东江门市新会区看守所,据悉截至至今搜捕没有停止,部分参与者被抄家,对海祭进行网上直播的香港有线电视所聘用的广州司机,也一度被拘留在新会看守所,后在舆论压力下方得获释。

刘霞的“罪”,在于她既是刘晓波妻子,又是一个有独立思想的人;海祭6人的“罪”,在于作为公民,敢于表达对另一位公民的支持及哀思。中国政府的敏感与荒谬,在针对刘晓波先生的一系列株连中表露无遗。生者不得自由,逝者何以安息。

我们在此强烈要求:
中国政府应停止对于刘霞的非法软禁、骚扰和严密监视。
立即释放六名海祭者:卫小兵、何霖、汐颜、刘广晓、李舒嘉、秦明新,保障中国公民自由表达的权利。
停止打压悼念、祭祀刘晓波的民间行动,还刘霞自由,还公民自由。

【聯署聲明:還劉霞及海祭者自由】

劉曉波先生在當局的嚴密監控下於7月13日逝世後,其遺體被迅速火化,骨灰被撒入大海,令群眾難以進行悼念。中國政府同時軟禁其家屬不得與外界聯絡,甚至對悼念他的民眾展開嚴厲打壓。

劉霞自劉曉波於2010年獲得諾貝爾和平獎後,長期遭到中國政府的非法軟禁、騷擾和嚴密的監視,除少數親友外,被禁止與任何人聯繫,這使她患上嚴重抑鬱症;她同時亦患有心臟病。而自劉曉波7月15日海葬以來劉霞更一直無法與外界接觸,連家屬也不能直接同劉霞通話聯繫。

中國政府同時對哀悼劉曉波的中國公民進行了殘酷的打壓。多個地方陸續有公民被短暫拘留,更甚者,劉曉波頭七當晚,十數名公民在廣東新會海邊祭奠悼念,兩日後警方即對參與海祭的人士展開大肆搜捕,迄今已刑事拘留衛小兵、劉廣曉、李舒嘉、何林(何霖)、汪美菊(汐顏)和秦明新六人,關押在廣東江門市新會區看守所,據悉截至至今搜捕沒有停止,部分參與者被抄家,對海祭進行網上直播的香港有線電視所聘用的廣州司機,也一度被拘留在新會看守所,後在輿論壓力下方得獲釋。

【Joint Statement: Free LIU Xia and the Mourners of LIU Xiaobo】

Mr. LIU Xiaobo died on July 13th under the strict control of the Chinese authorities. After his passing, his body has been cremated very quickly, and his ashes scattered to the sea, making it difficult for the public to mourn him. The Chinese government has also put his family members under tight surveillance, stopping them from contacting the outside world. Citizens mourning LIU Xiaobo have faced severe reprisals.

Since LIU Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, LIU Xia has been subjected to illegal house arrest, harassment and strict surveillance by the Chinese government. She has been forbidden to contact anyone except a few friends and relatives, which causes her to suffer from severe depression; at the same time she also has heart disease. Since LIU Xiaobo’s sea-burial on July 15th, LIU Xia has been unreachable by the outside world; not even family member can contact her directly by phone.

The Chinese government has also brutally suppressed Chinese citizens who mourned LIU Xiaobo. Supporters from across the country have faced short term detention. The most severe crackdown had occurred in Guangdong; on the seventh evening of Mr. LIU Xiaobo’s passing, about a dozen citizens held a memorial by the seaside in Xinhui, Guangdong. Two days later, the police launched a massive search and arrest effort targeting the participants. So far six people have been placed under criminal detention, namely WEI Xiaobing (卫小兵), LIU Guangxiao (刘广晓), LI Shujia (李舒嘉), HE Lin (何林/何霖), WANG Meiju(汪美菊/汐颜), and QIN Mingxin(秦明新). They are detained in Guangdong Jiangmen City Xinhui District Detention Center. Till now the investigation is still ongoing; several participants have their house searched, and even the Guangzhou driver employed by Hong Kong Cable TV, which had made a live broadcast of the memorial, had also been briefly detained in Xinhui Detention Center. The driver was only released under strong public pressure and criticism after his case had been widely reported.

Being the wife of Liu Xiaobo, as well as a person with independent thinking, were Liu Xia's only "crimes"; as was daring to express their support and grief for their fellow citizen was the only "crime" of the Guangdong six. The hypersensitivity and absurdity of the Chinese government have been revealed by this series of guilt by association cases surrounding LIU Xiaobo. How could the departed rest in peace while the living are not free?

We strongly demand that:
The Chinese government must stop the illegal house arrest, harassment, and surveillance of LIU Xia.
Immediately release the six mourners, namely WEI Xiaobing (卫小兵), LIU Guangxiao (刘广晓), LI Shujia (李舒嘉), HE Lin (何林/何霖), WANG Meiju(汪美菊/汐颜), and QIN Mingxin(秦明新). The freedom of expression of Chinese citizens must be protected.
Stop suppressing the mourning and commemoration of Mr. LIU Xiaobo. Free LIU Xia and the citizens.
