[标题] 骚扰08宪章的中国签名人
中国公民因准备纪念世界人权日和世界人权宣言发表六十周年而被拘捕、审问和骚扰的各种消息，使美国感到深度不安。我们格外担忧目前被当局羁押的著名异议作家刘晓波的安全。我们呼吁中国政府释放刘晓波，并且停止骚扰那些以和平方式表达渴望得到国际公认的基本自由的中国公民。

Harassment of Chinese Signatories to Charter 08
The United States is deeply concerned by reports that Chinese citizens have been detained, interrogated and harassed as they prepared to commemorate Human Rights Day and the 60th Anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We are particularly concerned about the well being of Liu Xiaobo, a prominent dissident writer, who remains in the custody of authorities. We call on the government of China to release Liu Xiaobo and cease harassment of all Chinese citizens who peacefully express their desire for internationally-recognized fundamental freedoms. 2008/1033
