转发：《就许志永绝食抗争一事向国际社会、各人权组织、华人团体的求助公开信》
尊敬的女士们、先生们：
截至2024年11月12日，中国公民运动及维权代表人物许志永已绝食40天。我们可以确认的信息：
绝食唯一的具体诉求“恢复与其未婚妻李翘楚的通信权”未被鲁南监狱批准；
官方一再作梗，使得许志永至今未被允许会见律师，更无任何渠道向外传递真实的身体状况和绝食与否的自主意愿表达；
许志永虽成功会见了家属，但家属遭到严重警告威胁，监狱及有关部门企图通过控家属以平息外界对其绝食抗争的关注热度。
10月23日获悉，许志永为了抗议鲁南监狱非法剥夺其与未婚妻李翘楚的通信权，从10月4日开始进行绝食抗争。据悉，两人在8月被允许正常通信，李翘楚患有抑郁症，令狱中的志永非常挂心；加之许志永2020年被抓捕后，李翘楚为支持他奔走呼吁、竭尽全力，也因此被株连、被打击报复，后被不公正审判3年8个月，爱人的付出和牺牲都让志永感动不已，也格外珍惜与她仅有的交流通道。但是，通信自9月被非法中断，许志永之后屡次争取，却遭审核的故意刁难；尤其是狱警当着他的面将信撕碎这一人格侮辱的举动，迫使他将抗争升级到了绝食程度。许志永并非不珍爱生命，这正是为了不再被人格侮辱、夺回被剥夺权利作出的义无反顾的决定。
其实，自今年7月海外就曾报道许志永在鲁南监狱被非法剥权基本人权、被以配备“包夹”等方式进行精神虐待的消息。而之后的几个月，鲁南监狱不断升级着严管手段，尽管处境艰难，许志永也一直坚持抗争，只是无法被外界知晓。
目前，40天的绝食，他的健康状况如何？是否被采取强制灌食等不人道的医疗手段？鲁南监狱是否对他进行惩罚、胁迫、继续虐待和尊严剥夺？这一切事关许志永生命安全的重要信息，都被鲁南监狱以卑劣非法的手段挡在高墙之内。
为捍卫基本权利，许志永在狱中穷尽了一切合法抗争途径，来自外界的行动和关注也一直持续，当一些国家、人权组织、社会团体等发表声明之后，面对谴责、质问和敦促，中国政府没有回应，甚至作为“流氓打手部门”的鲁南监狱也一再否认绝食事实、欺骗公众、施压家属，意欲将该事件拖到不了了之，同时对自己的违法行为视而不见，更无从实现许志永的权利保障和待遇改善问题。因此，许志永绝食抗争的个案，值得各国政府相关部门、各国政要、国际社会各人权组织等特别关注。
就目前掌握的信息，许志永在狱中的身心状况到了非常危急的时刻。关注组希望通过这封公开的求助信，向国际社会、人权组织、华人团体等紧急呼吁，希望各组织、团体通过广泛的发声和有效的行动，保持对该事件的关注热度，继续向中国政府及鲁南监狱施压。我们的具体诉求如下：
（一）确保许志永在鲁南监狱得到充分的医疗照护，防止绝食导致健康状况进一步恶化；
（二）确保许志永免受酷刑或不人道待遇，其羁押条件符合中国法律和国际人权标准；
（三）尊重和保障许志永与其未婚妻李翘楚合法通信的权利，禁止执行部门及具体人员对其通信恶意限制、侮辱人格的行为再次发生；
（四）保障许志永会见律师的权利，能够通过律师传递真实情况和自主意愿表达；
（五）希望各组织、团体敦促民主政府采取有效行动，无论是公开发表声明，还是鼓励驻华外交官亲自探视许志永，亲自核实他的身心健康状况。
最后，我们衷心感谢国际社会一直以来对中国维权人士的支持和帮助。许志永是北大法学博士，他以自己的专业能力、行动力和领导力，为推动中国人权和民主事业付诸努力，2013年因其活跃的维权运动，被当局抓捕，后被判刑四年；他出狱后，仍然坚持着自己的理想和信念。2019年底，因倡导公民聚会，许志永被迫在自己的祖国流亡，在流亡期间发表了给习近平的《劝退书》。2020年2月被当局报复性抓捕，即使在非法关押、遭受酷刑，他也从未低头认罪。2023年他被当局重判14年。许志永为实现美好中国付出了巨大的牺牲，他不惧怕漫长的刑期和严酷的虐待。人类为正义和自由的奋斗艰难不会停息。请相信，你们对许志永的关注和支持，将会捍卫正义，并激励超越国界、宗教和政治意识形态的变革。

From Xiaoju Zhang, 2024-5-14
All those who want to embrace universal values should support China’s humanitarian cause. The CCP’s cruelty and inhumane actions have inflicted tremendous amounts of harm on China and its people, as humanitarianism is the CCP’s natural enemy.
Helping the victims of the CCP’s persecution is our most urgent mission on the road to achieving democracy and freedom.
Let’s keep supporting the humanitarian China

From Roz Dimon, 2019-3-6
My name is Roz Dimon and I have a door in the CHINA: June 4, 1989 collection, formerly part of the Asian American Arts Centre.
Here is some information about the creation of our door:
It was a beautiful day July 4th, 1989, when I carried the door which I had received from Robert Lee up to our Brooklyn Penthouse overlooking the NYC skyline and worked with my two friends, James Dawson (now my husband) and Sarah Emery, to digitally create an homage to the horrific happenings of the proceeding month.
We could think of nothing more important on this day where we celebrated freedom and independence in our country of the United States than to honor the courage of those who stood up to army tanks and force at Tiananmen Square.
Thank you for keeping this important exhibit alive – it is a testament to people who stand up for human rights the world over.

2017年底，我和孩子逃离了那个专制、独裁的牢笼，来到了自由的美国，经过了初期的艰难阶段后，我终于有了工卡，进而拿到了工作培训的license，在多方报名、培训、等待之后，终于开始做工了，当第一周仅7小时的薪水支票寄到家时，我就毅然与周峰锁先生联系，我要把它捐给“人道中国”，我知道，这个数额并不大，但它是我们一家对“人道中国”、对全社会曾给予我们的温暖和关怀的一点点回馈。我要与“人道中国”一起，继续良心犯的救助，继续这美好的人道关怀。只要我的收入没中断，我的捐款也不会中断。希望更多的朋友们在自己生活安排好了之后，能一起向大陆政治犯及家属一伸援手，让这人性的温暖、道义的光辉，照临每一个处于黑暗和酷寒中的同胞。

我們很清楚民主自由是不會從天上掉下來的。自八九六四北京學生面對坦克車的慘案，到今時今日香港學生血染街頭的抗爭。一代代人為追求民主自由拋頭顱灑熱血，道路漫漫長。縱使面對暴政強權，面對武力裝備懸殊黑警，香港人一次次奮戰著，堅持著，猶如雞蛋撼高牆，也依然無所畏懼。從雨傘運動都反送中再到國安法，香港人寧願最後徒勞無功，也不選擇無動於衷。香港人加油！
很感謝世界各地對香港人的支持與聲援。在此，特別感謝人道中國提供給香港一班前線抗爭者的資金援助。 我們堅定民主自由的信念不移，會在追求民主自由的道路上一路努力前進。
最後，願榮光歸香港。願民主自由之花，早日開遍世界的每一個角落!!!
