12 Chinese Writers Win Free Speech Award
A prestigious free speech award has been given to 12 writers, journalists, and activists from China, Human Rights Watch announced Thursday. In total, 41 writers from 19 countries received the 2012 Hellman/Hammett grants for promoting free expression in the midst of government harassment and persecution. The winners from China include ethnic Hans, Tibetans, Mongolians and Uighurs. The names of four Tibetan recipients were not announced due to safety concerns. All 12 have been detained or jailed, and seven are still in prison. They have endured unlawful house arrests, restrictions on their movement, and numerous threats and interrogations by police. Human Rights Watch says the oppression and intimidation of writers like these by the Chinese regime aims to discourage others from freely expressing themselves. This helps reinforce self-censorship, undermines free speech, and prevents the public from accessing the truth.
