尊敬的諾貝爾評獎委員會和哈維爾先生：
我們是多年關心並參與中國民主運動的流亡海外作家、異議人士和海外華裔。我們一直譴責中共政府的一切迫害行為，我們同樣反對今天中共政府對作家劉曉波的迫害。
但是，我們不認為劉曉波先生是2010年諾貝爾和平獎的合格候選人。因為，就在最近，被非法拘留近一年的劉曉波於2009年12月23日在北京法庭審判中歪曲事實地發表了《我沒有敵人——我的最後陳述》的陳詞，劉曉波授權妻子於2010年1月21日將此陳詞發表在自由亞洲電臺和德國之聲等網站。在此陳詞中，他僅憑中共司法機構在他拘押期間刻意對他個人的特殊待遇，粉飾中共政權惡劣的人權和司法狀況。他在此文中前後矛盾，既說中共對他的治罪是以言治罪，又稱讚中共把「尊重和保障人權」寫進憲法，是「標誌著人權已經成為中國法治的根本原則之一。」在同一文中，劉曉波還稱讚監獄的「柔性化的管理」，「 為在押人員提供了人性化的生活環境」，「讓人感到溫暖」。
當劉曉波在監獄中受到「柔性化和人性化」的特殊待遇的同時，在同一個極權國家、同一個年代、同一個司法制度下，中國人權律師高智晟等其他良心犯卻受到警方施加如電擊生殖器等令人髮指的酷刑。劉曉波明知中共在殘酷摧殘高智晟先生和其他良心犯的同時給予他特殊優厚待遇是別有用心，他卻仍在他的《我沒有敵人——我的最後陳述》中說中國政府「對普世人權標準的承認」這類完全違背事實的謊言。劉曉波早在1989年的北京天安門運動後，就在全國聯播的電視臺講話中，為中共在天安門廣場的屠殺洗脫罪名、掩蓋事實。他的這些表現都使他喪失了一位諾貝爾獎得主應具備的道德形象。
眾所周知, 中共一貫拒絕民間社會的任何力量與它分享權力，它把任何要它放棄獨裁專制的人都視為威脅到它的政權的敵對勢力並加以殘酷迫害。無論是以抗爭的方式還是以規勸的方式，中共都不能容忍，即使劉曉波以《零八憲章》這類規勸中共接受民主制度的諫言書的方式，中共也不能容忍。這次劉曉波的被捕再次說明，認為中共會自行改良、和平轉型成民主制度的幻想徹底破滅，也說明劉曉波的勸說和諫言之路是完全走不通的。
劉曉波如何說話是他的自由，但是作為公眾人物的「異見人士」，他不顧事實地對一貫踐踏人權的中共公開讚揚的行為，他的既為自己辯護又為中共惡行洗脫的矛盾說辭，都立下了一個混淆和顛倒是非的先例，對中國民主運動起到誤導作用和惡劣影響。
中國的異見人士爭論的焦點是：如何看待中國共產黨的極權專制統治？這個爭論導致中國異見人士分為「抗爭派」 和「合作派」。前者徹底否定共產極權政府、喚醒民眾抵制專制、建立民主政府，後者與極權政府合作、幻想共同建立「民主制度」。由於中國異見人士隊伍中的這個嚴重的分歧，加上中共情治機關的滲透和收買，使得異見人士這個隊伍越發混亂和複雜，中國當前的民主運動就像當初東歐國家共產黨倒臺前的情況一樣混亂和複雜。因此我們認為，對於劉曉波這樣一個有爭議的 「合作派」代表人物，也許只有時間才能說明他的真實面目。
最後，我們要再一次說明，我們反對中共極權政府的任何侵犯人權和自由的行為，無論對「抗爭派」、還是對「合作派」的迫害和監禁，都是以言治罪的非法行為。然而，如果把諾貝爾和平獎授予給劉曉波這樣的形象有缺陷的「合作派」代表人物，這將對中國人民爭取人權、自由和民主的事業帶來負面影響。
為了鼓舞正在反抗中共暴政的正義的中國人民，在諾貝爾和平獎的中國人選上，我們希望諾貝爾評獎委員會考慮那些真正為爭取中國人民自由和人權作出實際奉獻的其他合適人選，如：還正在遭受著中共迫害的高智晟律師和胡佳，還有被中共迫害而逃離中國的高耀潔醫生。謝謝。

A letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee and Mr. Havel
from Overseas Chinese Concerned with Chinese Democracy

Respected Nobel Prize Committee and Mr. Vaclav Havel:
We are a group of exiled overseas writers, dissidents, and overseas Chinese, who are concerned about and have been participating in the Chinese democracy movement for many years. We have always condemned the persecutory conduct of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government, and we are equally opposed to the CCP’s current persecution of writer Liu Xiaobo.
However, we do not consider that Liu Xiaobo qualifies as a candidate for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. As recently as December 23, 2009, he made a statement entitled 「I have no enemies—my final statement」 during his trial after being detained for nearly a year. This statement was released to Radio Free Asia and Voice of Germany by his wife on January 21, 2010. In this statement, he whitewashed the Communist regime’s appalling human rights record and legal system, based on only his own special treatment by the CCP justice system during his detention. He also contradicted himself by first saying that the CCP was criminalizing him for his speech, and then praising the CCP for putting 「respecting and protecting human rights」 into the constitution, saying that 「it is a sign that human rights have become one of the fundamental principles of Chinese law.」 Also in this statement, he praised the CCP prison system for its 「tender management,」 「offering inmates a humane living environment,」 and 「making them feel warm.」
At the same time that Liu Xiaobo was receiving 「tender and humane」 special treatment in jail, under the same totalitarian regime, in the same year, under the same legal system, Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng and other prisoners of conscience were suffering from brutal tortures as atrocious as electric shocks to the genitals by the police. Liu Xiaobo clearly knew that the CCP was deliberately giving him special lenient treatment while ruthlessly brutalizing Mr. Gao Zhisheng and other prisoners of conscience. But he still said in his 「I have no enemies」 statement that the Chinese government 「recognizes universal standards of human rights.」 This is consistent with his conduct after the Tiananmen movement of 1989. Back then in a speech broadcast across the national television network, he helped the CCP to cover up its massacre during the June 4th movement. Because of these deeds and conduct, he has lost the moral image fit for a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
As everyone knows, the CCP has always refused to share power with any force outside the government. It also views anyone who demands it to relinquish its dictatorship as 「hostile forces.」 These 「hostile forces」 are subjected to brutal persecution by the CCP, regardless of whether the demand was in the form of resistance or gentle suggestions, including Liu Xiaobo’s 「Charter 08,」 which tries to persuade the CCP to adopt democracy. Liu’s arrest this time again demonstrates the fall of the fantasy that the CCP regime will reform itself and peacefully transition into a democracy. It also shows that Liu Xiaobo’s path of persuasion and advice can only lead to a dead end.
Liu Xiaobo is free to say whatever he wants, but as a public-figure 「dissident,」 his disregard for facts and open praise for the CCP regime that tramples on human rights, and his attempt to both defend himself and exonerate the CCP, all set a precedent of confounding truth and falsehood that misguides and negatively impacts the Chinese democracy movement.
The point of dispute among the Chinese dissidents is this: How do we confront the totalitarian rule of the CCP? This dispute divides Chinese dissidents into those who favor change through resistance and those who favor change through cooperation. The former completely negate the totalitarian Communist system, calling for the people to reject dictatorship and establish a democratic government; the latter cooperate with the CCP, hoping to work with it to establish a 「democratic system.」 The existence of such severe differences among the Chinese dissidents, plus the CCP intelligence operation’s infiltration and buy off, makes the ranks of dissidents highly complex. The current Chinese democracy movement is as chaotic and complicated as the resistance movements before the collapse of the Communist parties in the Eastern European countries. It is our belief that perhaps only time can reveal the true face of Liu Xiaobo as a controversial figure and representative of the 「cooperative faction.」
Finally, we would like to clarify that we are opposed to any infringements on freedom and human rights by the CCP. We also consider it illegal to criminalize free speech and persecute and imprison either those who try to bring change through resistance or those who try to achieve reform through cooperation. Nonetheless, awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo, with his defective image and being a representative of the 「cooperative faction,」 will have a negative impact on the Chinese peoples’ struggle for human rights, freedom, and democracy.
To inspire the Chinese people currently struggling against the brutal tyranny of the CCP, with respect to the selection of Chinese candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize, we hope that the Nobel Committee will consider those individuals who have made real contributions to the struggle for freedom, human rights and democracy in China. They are, for example, Gao Zhisheng and Hu Jia who are currently being persecuted by the CCP, and Dr. Gao Yaojie who just fled China to escape persecution.
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
