Liu Xiaobo, Chinese literary critic, writer, professor, activist and long time supporter of the Tibetan people, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China" (Nobel Committee). Currently serving an 11-year prison sentence for 'inciting subversion of state power', Liu Xiaobo is the first Chinese person to be awarded a Nobel Prize of any kind while residing in China.

Just before his sentencing in December 2009 Liu Xiaobo released a 'Final Statement' in which he wrote: "I look forward to my country being a land of free expression, where all citizens’ speeches are treated the same; where different values, ideas, beliefs, political views… both compete with each other and coexist peacefully; ....in particular, political views different from those in power will be fully respected and protected; here, all political views will be spread in the sunlight for the people to choose; all citizens will be able to express their political views without fear, and will never be politically persecuted for voicing dissent; I hope to be the last victim of China’s endless literary inquisition, and that after this no one else will ever be jailed for their speech."

Thousands of prisoners - Tibetan as well as Chinese - continue to be held behind bars, serving long sentences for speaking out and voicing their opinions. They include Dhondup Wangchen, a Tibetan film-maker; Runggye Adak, a Tibetan nomad; and Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, a well respected Tibetan religious and community leader.

Whilst we join the celebrations for this incredible award to Liu Xiaobo, we also call on the international community to take a strong stand in solidarity with Liu Xiaobo and the people of China and Tibet.

Take Action NOW by sending the message below to world leaders urging them to press China to release all prisoners detained for exercising their right to free expression, and to implement the political and human rights reforms that multitudes of Chinese and Tibetan advocates risk their lives to promote.
