諾貝爾和平獎得主劉曉波逝世一個月，42個團體發表聯署聲明，要求中國政府停止軟禁劉曉波的妻子劉霞，並釋放6名因海祭劉曉波而被捕的人，並停止打壓悼念、祭祀劉曉波的民間行動。

同時，中國人權民咝畔⒅行囊�述劉霞在北京的親屬表示，今劉霞今天仍然失踪，劉暉也沒有回家仍在陪伴劉霞。

由一群劉曉波生前友好及支持者成立的「自由劉曉波工作組」，聯同41個團體，包括「中國維權律師關注組」、「天安門母親邉印埂ⅰ赶愀厶熘鹘陶�義和平委員會」、「法政匯思」等，發表聯署聲明，要求中國當局停止對於劉霞的非法軟禁、騷擾和嚴密監視。

另外，劉曉波頭七當晚，十數名公民在廣東新會海邊祭奠悼念，兩日後警方對參與海祭的人士展開大肆搜捕，迄今已刑事拘留衛小兵、劉廣曉、李舒嘉、何林（何霖）、汪美菊（汐顏）和秦明新六人，關押在廣東江門市新會區看守所，聯署聲明要求立即釋放該六名海祭者。

【劉曉波逝世周月，42個中、港、台、英、美、加及國際民間組織聯署聲明：還劉霞及海祭者自由】

劉曉波先生在當局的嚴密監控下於7月13日逝世後，其遺體被迅速火化，骨灰被撒入大海，令群眾難以進行悼念。中國政府同時軟禁其家屬不得與外界聯絡，甚至對悼念他的民眾展開嚴厲打壓。

劉霞自劉曉波於2010年獲得諾貝爾和平獎後，長期遭到中國政府的非法軟禁、騷擾和嚴密的監視，除少數親友外，被禁止與任何人聯繫，這使她患上嚴重抑鬱症；她同時亦患有心臟病。而自劉曉波7月15日海葬以來劉霞更一直無法與外界接觸，連家屬也不能直接同劉霞通話聯繫。

中國政府同時對哀悼劉曉波的中國公民進行了殘酷的打壓。多個地方陸續有公民被短暫拘留，更甚者，劉曉波頭七當晚，十數名公民在廣東新會海邊祭奠悼念，兩日後警方即對參與海祭的人士展開大肆搜捕，迄今已刑事拘留衛小兵、劉廣曉、李舒嘉、何林（何霖）、汪美菊（汐顏）和秦明新六人，關押在廣東江門市新會區看守所，據悉截至至今搜捕沒有停止，部分參與者被抄家，對海祭進行網上直播的香港有線電視所聘用的廣州司機，也一度被拘留在新會看守所，後在輿論壓力下方得獲釋。

劉霞的「罪」，在於她既是劉曉波妻子，又是一個有獨立思想的人；海祭6人的「罪」，在於作為公民，敢於表達對另一位公民的支持及哀思。中國政府的敏感與荒謬，在針對劉曉波先生的一系列株連中表露無遺。生者不得自由，逝者何以安息。

我們在此強烈要求：

中國政府應停止對於劉霞的非法軟禁、騷擾和嚴密監視。

立即釋放六名海祭者：衛小兵、何霖、汐顏、劉廣曉、李舒嘉、秦明新，保障中國公民自由表達的權利。

停止打壓悼念、祭祀劉曉波的民間行動，還劉霞自由，還公民自由。

【Joint Statement by 42 International Organisations: Free LIU Xia and the Mourners of LIU Xiaobo】

Mr. LIU Xiaobo died on July 13th under the strict control of the Chinese authorities. After his passing, his body has been cremated very quickly, and his ashes scattered to the sea, making it difficult for the public to mourn him. The Chinese government has also put his family members under tight surveillance, stopping them from contacting the outside world. Citizens mourning LIU Xiaobo have faced severe reprisals.

Since LIU Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, LIU Xia has been subjected to illegal house arrest, harassment and strict surveillance by the Chinese government. She has been forbidden to contact anyone except a few friends and relatives, which causes her to suffer from severe depression; at the same time she also has heart disease. Since LIU Xiaobo’s sea-burial on July 15th, LIU Xia has been unreachable by the outside world; not even family member can contact her directly by phone.

The Chinese government has also brutally suppressed Chinese citizens who mourned LIU Xiaobo. Supporters from across the country have faced short term detention. The most severe crackdown had occurred in Guangdong; on the seventh evening of Mr. LIU Xiaobo’s passing, about a dozen citizens held a memorial by the seaside in Xinhui, Guangdong. Two days later, the police launched a massive search and arrest effort targeting the participants. So far six people have been placed under criminal detention, namely WEI Xiaobing (卫小兵), LIU Guangxiao (刘广晓), LI Shujia (李舒嘉), HE Lin (何林/何霖), WANG Meiju(汪美菊/汐颜), and QIN Mingxin(秦明新). They are detained in Guangdong Jiangmen City Xinhui District Detention Center. Till now the investigation is still ongoing; several participants have their house searched, and even the Guangzhou driver employed by Hong Kong Cable TV, which had made a live broadcast of the memorial, had also been briefly detained in Xinhui Detention Center. The driver was only released under strong public pressure and criticism after his case had been widely reported.

Being the wife of Liu Xiaobo, as well as a person with independent thinking, were Liu Xia's only "crimes"; as was daring to express their support and grief for their fellow citizen was the only "crime" of the Guangdong six. The hypersensitivity and absurdity of the Chinese government have been revealed by this series of guilt by association cases surrounding LIU Xiaobo. How could the departed rest in peace while the living are not free?

We strongly demand that:

The Chinese government must stop the illegal house arrest, harassment, and surveillance of LIU Xia.

Immediately release the six mourners, namely WEI Xiaobing (卫小兵), LIU Guangxiao (刘广晓), LI Shujia (李舒嘉), HE Lin (何林/何霖), WANG Meiju(汪美菊/汐颜), and QIN Mingxin(秦明新). The freedom of expression of Chinese citizens must be protected.

Stop suppressing the mourning and commemoration of Mr. LIU Xiaobo. Free LIU Xia and the citizens.

喺香港，呢個係「尋人啓示」，喺「中共國」就變咗「尋釁滋事」。好快就會有人落嚟執法，用共匪十大酷刑「招呼」港人！
