The Seven Sentences of Liu Xiaobo

E.L. Doctorow, Don DeLillo, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Edward Albee, A.M. Homes, Honor Moore, Victoria Redel, and other PEN Members gathered on the steps of the New York Public Library to demand the release of writer Liu Xiaobo, who was sentenced on Christmas Day to 11 years in prison in China. The program featured short statements and readings by PEN Members. After the event, a PEN delegation delivered a letter to the Permanent Mission of the Peoples Republic of China to the U.N.

@MrPokerman5250 This is not a matter of foreign affairs, this is matter of human affairs. Liu Xiaobo is a fellow human, and, therefore, what happens to him greatly matters to me. This is my business, it's everyone's business. Tyrannical governments have attempted that argument in the past, but only to hide their own evils.

I can see there is astroturfing here as well from some few Chinese.

PENamericancenter delete my opinion is just to say,democracy is just a illusion in this world.so here everybody should understand, democracy is just a politic concept, the reality is nomater where u r, you can see what you said deleted.so stop to follow those stupid politic -religious concepts.judge one personne or systeme by what someone's doing et done,western democracy is just a religion not a system modern,et you,the follower of those politic-religious prostitutes r funny stupid peril.

@johnsmile123

I won't comment on brainwashing, you might as well be right... anyhow, Democratic ideal are more than "evil western bullshits" and indeed Chian got laws and they (on paper) allowed all that he did... So why is He in Jail?

@orioncxz I don't think the situation is worse than that in west country, if u had never some experience both in west countries et in china, u cannot compare and judge. I dont think that the achievement of china can be obtained with a way of disorder.
