Help free Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo

Imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, with his spouse Liu Xia who has now been placed under house arrest by the Chinese authorities

Amnesty International:

Liu Xiaobo is due to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10th.

But the government of China has refused to allow him to receive the prize.

They've even put his wife, Liu Xia, under illegal house arrest.

Please help Amnesty International protect courageous democracy activists like Liu Xiaobo by ensuring that the global pressure on the Chinese government is maintained.

Liu Xiaobo is not the only human rights activist wrongfully detained in China. Others are in prison for speaking out in support of Liu Xiaobo and human rights change in China.

Next week on December 10th, International Human Rights Day, hundreds of thousands of Amnesty International supporters will write letters on behalf of Liu Xiaobo and a dozen other activists who are wrongfully detained around the world.

We're asking you to join us right now in this monumental effort by signing our petition for Liu Xiaobo.
