From the 2006 article “The Many Aspects of CPC Dictatorship” by Liu Xiaobo (the “CPC” is the Communist Party of China”):
“Thus, all of the tricks used by the Communist Party of China are stop-gap measures for the dictators to preserve the last phase of their power and will not be able to support for long this dictatorial edifice that is already showing countless cracks.”
From the verdict of the Beijing Municipality First Intermediate Peoples Court, December 25, 2009:
The "investigation record" of Public Security organs and material evidence photographs of December 8, 2008 prove: that, relying on the testimony of witnesses, Public Security searched Liu Xiaobo's residence at No. 7 Xiancun, Bank of China dormitory Building 10 … and found and took into custody the tools that Liu Xiaobo used to write the documents and to send them to web sites—two notebook computers, one desktop computer, and one copy of a printed document "Charter 08—Request for Comments".
The Beijing Municipality Networking Industry Association Forensic Electronic Data Center provided a "Judicial Testimony Opinion Document" proving: that, on December 13, 2008, a forensic examination of the data stored on the three computers authenticated the discovery of the electronic documents "The Dictatorial Patriotism of the Chinese Communist Party", "Can It Be that the Chinese People Deserve Only ‘Party-Led Democracy?" "Change the Political Regime by Changing Society", "The Many Faces of the Chinese Communist Dictatorship", "The Negative Effect of the Rise of a Dictatorship on World Democratization", "Inquiring Further into the Case of the Child Slaves of the Black Kilns" and "Charter 08".
The records of the “Skype” software on his computer contained multiple e-mails that he sent from November to December 8, 2008 containing "Charter 08" and the "request for comments" document. |
