（维权网义工 何贝翻译）在贵国，刘晓波目前正在被起诉。一年前，他就已经被控颠覆国家政权而入狱，仅仅因为他是《零八宪章》的共同作者。这份宪章批评了中国政府，并组织获得了超过300名公民的共同签名连署。
我们要求立即并无条件停止起诉并释放他。
与此同时，我们根据《世界人权宣言》（第19-21款）发出呼吁。这个宣言已经成为习惯法，早在1948年12月10日，作为联合国首批成员国的中国就已经签署了这个宣言。我们也呼吁联合国系统内其他有关国家的政府，要求中国履行其道义上的义务。
捷克赫尔辛基委员会主席 Anna Šabatová
2009年12月24日 布拉格
后记：
12月25日，因参与撰写并传播《零八宪章》而被控反对国家，刘晓波被判处11年徒刑。
作为《七七宪章》的签署者与朋友，我们支持捷克赫尔辛基委员会的声明，并表示与上述的人权活动以及所有受迫害的中国朋友在一起。

Open letter to the government of the Peoples Republic of China
via the Embassy of the Peoples Republic of China
In your country Liou Sia-pao is now being prosecuted. It is a year since he has been in prison accused of subverting the state by co-authoring a manifesto entitled „Charter 08“ criticising the government of the Peoples Republic of China and organising a petition in its support signed by over 300 signatories.
We demand an immediate and unconditional cessation of this prosecution and his release.
At the same time we appeal under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Articles 19-21) whose acceptance China signed up to as one of the first of the member states of the UN on 10 December 1948 and which has become accepted as customary law. We are also appealing to the governments of other states, associated within the UN, that they remind the Peoples Republic of China to fulfil its moral obligations.
Anna Šabatová
Chairwoman Czech Helsinki Commitee
Postscript:
Liou Sia-pao (Liu Xiaobo) was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment on 25 December for alleged crimes against the state, namely for participating in writing and disseminating the Manifesto „Charter 08“.
