Petition to release Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo and his wife Liu Xia.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu`s petition, with support from Amnesty International, is calling for the release of Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo and his wife Liu Xia. 
Signed by over 450,000 people from 130 different countries, the petitions were delivered to Chinese embassies across the globe -  Berlin, Hong Kong, Taipei, Paris, London, New York, and Washington DC, on 28 February.

Liu Xiaobo has been in jail since 2008 and his wife Liu Xia is still under house arrest in Jinzhou, Liaoning, The People`s Republic of China.

Mr Xiaobo is a writer, political commentator and human rights activist who is serving a 11 year sentence for his role in drafting the manifesto known as Chapter 08, which urged the single-party, communist  party to establish a more democratic, multiparty system of government.
"Chapter 08  has been called the most important political statement since the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. " 

In 2010, the Norwegian Nobel Committee  awarded Dr. Liu its Peace Prize in recognition of his “long and non-violent struggle for fundamental rights in China." Significantly, he is the first Chinese person to win the Noble Peace Price.

Liu Xiaobo deserves his freedom and you can be part of the fight for it. It is not too late - sign the petition today - Click on me!
