Countries Against the Nobel Peace Prize

Caving in to pressure from the People's (!) Republic (!) of China, 18 additional countries have declined invitations to attend the ceremony in Oslo to present

LIU XIAOBO

the award in a couple of days. Of course, HIS chair will also remain empty, because China continues to hold the

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER 2010

LIU XIAOBO,

in prison and keeps his wife under arrest, forbidding her to attend as well. China has warned his relatives not to attend, and has already hindered many of his supporters attempting to leave the country, perhaps to be in Oslo in a couple of days.
Most shameful, after the utter shame China itself has, is the announcement of Navi Pillay, UN Human Rights Commissioner, of South African origin, that whe will not attend. That's what I call standing up for Human Rights, lady! Shame on you!
Russia, Pakistan, Saudi-Arabia, Kasachstan, Columbia, Tunesia, Serbia, Iraq (!), Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan (!), Venezuela, the Philippines, Egypt, Sudan, Ukraine, Cuba, and Morocco prefer to bow to the Chinese tramplers of human rights, thus share the shame of China, claiming that the author of

Charter 08

is a common criminal.
Well, then, I'm a common criminal, too, because I believe

LIU XIAOBO

very much deserves this prize, is a shining example of civil courage against dictators and violators of human rights, and I would very much like to go to Oslo and watch the ceremony. There will be 19 empty seats for countries snubbing the Nobel Peace Prize, one from the UN, so there would be more than enough room. The most horrid empty chair will be the one

LIU XIAOBO

should occupy.

FREE LIU XIAOBO!
