諾貝爾委員會新聞稿：劉曉波判刑令他成為人權鬥爭象徵

挪威諾貝爾委員會決定將二○一○年的諾貝爾和平獎授與劉曉波，以表揚他多年來在中國爭取基本人權的非暴力抗爭。挪威諾貝爾委員會一直相信，人權和和平是緊密相連的。這些權利是實現艾爾弗雷德‧諾貝爾在遺囑中提到的「民族團結友好」的必要條件。

在過去幾十年，中國取得了史無前例的經濟發展。中國現在已是全球第一大經濟體；數以百萬計人民得以脫貧。政治參與的範圍亦擴闊了。

新的地位代表中國需要承擔更多責任。作為簽署國，中國政府違反了多條國際協議，也違反了自己承諾給予人民的政治權利。中國憲法第三十五條指明「中華人民共和國公民有言論、出版、集會、結社、游行、示威的自由」。實際上，中國人民在實踐這些自由時受到很大的限制。

在過去二十多年來，劉曉波一直是爭取在中國落實基本人權的重要推動者。一九八九年，他參與了天安門示威；他是《零八憲章》的主要草擬者。憲章在二○○八年十二月十日、即聯合國國際人權公約訂立六十周年當日發表。翌年，劉曉波以「煽動顛覆國家」的罪名被判監十一年、剝奪政治權利兩年。劉曉波一直堅稱，對他的裁決違反了中華人民共和國憲法和基本人權。

很多中國人在國內外投身落實普世人權的運動。劉曉波受到的懲罰，正好令他成為這場廣大的中國人權鬥爭的象徵。

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2010

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace
Prize for 2010 to Liu Xiaobo for his long and non-violent struggle for
fundamental human rights in China. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has
long believed that there is a close connection between human rights and
peace. Such rights are a prerequisite for the "fraternity between
nations" of which Alfred Nobel wrote in his will.

Over the past decades, China has achieved economic advances to which
history can hardly show any equal. The country now has the world's
second largest economy; hundreds of millions of people have been lifted
out of poverty.  Scope for political participation has also broadened.

China's new status must entail increased responsibility. China is in
breach of several international agreements to which it is a signatory,
as well as of its own provisions concerning political rights. Article 35
of China's constitution lays down that "Citizens of the People's
Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of
association, of procession and of demonstration". In practice, these
freedoms have proved to be distinctly curtailed for China's citizens.

For over two decades, Liu Xiaobo has been a strong spokesman for the
application of fundamental human rights also in China.  He took part in
the Tiananmen protests in 1989; he was a leading author behind Charter
08, the manifesto of such rights in China which was published on the
60th anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, the 10th of December 2008. The following year, Liu was sentenced
to eleven years in prison and two years' deprivation of political
rights for “inciting subversion of state power". Liu has consistently
maintained that the sentence violates both China's own constitution and
fundamental human rights.

The campaign to establish universal human rights also in China is
being waged by many Chinese, both in China itself and abroad. Through
the severe punishment meted out to him, Liu has become the foremost
symbol of this wide-ranging struggle for human rights in China.

摘自中华人民共和国外交部官方网站：

　　问：10月8日诺贝尔委员会把今年的诺贝尔和平奖授予中国“异见人士”刘晓波，请问你对此有何评论？

　　答：诺贝尔和平奖应授予“为促进民族和睦，增进各国友谊，推动裁军以及为召开和宣传和平会议而努力的人”，这是诺贝尔的遗愿。刘晓波是因触犯中
国法律而被中国司法机关判处徒刑的罪犯，其所作所为与诺贝尔和平奖的宗旨背道而驰。诺委会把和平奖授予这样一个人，完全违背了该奖项的宗旨，也是对和平奖
的亵渎。

　　问：刘晓波获奖是否会影响中挪关系？

　　答：近年来，中挪关系一直保持良好发展，这有利于两国和两国人民的根本利益。诺委会授奖刘晓波与诺贝尔和平奖宗旨背道而驰，也会给中挪关系带来损害。

昨天，诺贝尔和平奖颁给了刘晓波。Twitter上面群情激愤，我在办公室还开了瓶红酒，当然一起来喝的人倒也不多。临下班的时候我遇到了一个曾经在Twitter上面也很活跃的同事，他现在只上新浪微博，他对诺贝尔和平奖的事情一无所知，对我说的事情很茫然。

这让我想起了我们时时面对的人生选择，红丸还是蓝丸。在我看来，只上新浪微博，腾讯微博就是红丸，你可以忘记一切痛苦，娱乐致死，其实也未尝不好。但是，我终究不能放弃我内心的自由，无内心自由的活着，哪怕没有任何生命危险，没有任何实质伤害，我也无法忍受。

那么蓝丸呢？我也不想选择。蓝丸就是刘晓波这样的人的选择，内心无比自由广阔，但是身体只能被关在锦州的监狱里，11年，我人生已经浪费了31年，没有更多11年可以来浪费了。我赞赏每种伟大的情况，但是选择自私的活着。

问题在哪里？一个好的国度，不应该让他的国民面临这样的两难选择。所以，我说过无数次，我还要继续说下去，我迟早要移民，5年后，一定会实施。然后，我会吞下蓝丸，让内心彻底自由。
