刘晓波获诺贝尔和平奖16周年：中国人权捍卫者指无人因此被追责，2026年2月两名悼念者被判刑Sixteen years after Liu Xiaobo's Nobel Peace Prize: CHRD says no one held accountable; two commemorators sentenced in February 2026

2026年10月8日（周四），“中国人权捍卫者”网络（Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders, CHRD）发表声明称：在中国文学评论家刘晓波2010年10月8日获得诺贝尔和平奖的消息公布16周年之际，没有任何中国政府官员因刘晓波被错误拘留，或因其在羁押期间因无法获得足够医疗而死亡而被调查或起诉。此外，也没有任何官员为刘晓波被拘留和去世后，其伴侣刘霞所遭受的连带惩罚承担责任；当局仍在压制其他人权捍卫者公开悼念刘晓波及其作品。[1]

声明回顾：刘晓波是北京作家、公共知识分子、《零八宪章》主要起草人之一；2008年12月9日《零八宪章》发表前一天，警方以涉嫌“煽动颠覆国家政权”将其拘留；2009年12月25日，北京市第一中级人民法院判处他有期徒刑11年、剥夺政治权利2年。2010年10月8日，挪威诺贝尔委员会宣布刘晓波获得当年和平奖，表彰其“长期为中国基本人权进行非暴力的斗争”；同年12月10日奥斯陆颁奖典礼上，为他预留的领奖椅空无一人。2017年6月，辽宁监狱方面突然宣布刘晓波保外就医，称其患晚期肝癌并将其转至沈阳一家医院；其寻求出国治疗的请求被拒绝；7月13日，刘晓波在国保羁押下去世。刘霞在他去世后又被迫再承受一年的软禁，2018年7月才获准前往德国。[1]

声明指出，自那以后，当局一直在压制对刘晓波生平和作品的纪念努力。最近的一起：2026年2月，杭州一法院以“寻衅滋事”罪分别判处人权捍卫者邹巍3年半、昝爱宗3年有期徒刑——这项罪名连联合国人权官员都已呼吁北京废除；两人获刑仅仅因为聚集在一起悼念刘晓波。这一说法另有人权研究者 William Nee 的公开帖文佐证，称两人于2026年2月被判刑。[1][2]

声明还引用该组织2026年9月的一项调查结论：在中国，被剥夺足够医疗属于针对良心犯最常见的酷刑形式。CHRD 敦促各国政府和联合国机构在一切可能的机会里，向习近平主席和其他中国高级官员施压，要求对所有侵犯刘晓波及其家人、支持者人权负有责任的官员展开可信的调查。[1]

核实说明：本记录记录的是“CHRD 发表周年声明”这一可核实的公开行为（声明全文刊于其官网）。声明中对刘案历史事实的回顾、邹巍与昝爱宗案的判决细节、以及“拒绝医疗是最常见酷刑”结论，均系该组织的单方面陈述，本站尚未能独立核实；邹巍、昝爱宗案目前仅有该声明与人权研究者帖文两处同向信息来源，仍需更多司法文书或独立报道核验。本站将继续跟进。[1][2]

On Thursday, October 8, 2026, the Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) published a statement saying that sixteen years after the announcement on October 8, 2010 that Chinese literary critic Liu Xiaobo had won the Nobel Peace Prize, no Chinese government official has been investigated or prosecuted for Liu's wrongful detention or for his death in detention stemming from denial of access to adequate medical care. Nor has any official been held accountable for the collective punishment inflicted on Liu Xia, his partner, following Liu Xiaobo's detention and death; the authorities continue to silence human rights defenders for their public remembrances of Liu Xiaobo and his work. [1]

The statement recalls: Liu Xiaobo was a Beijing-based writer and public intellectual and one of the lead authors of 'Charter 08'; police took him into custody the day before the document's publication on December 9, 2008, on suspicion of 'inciting subversion of state power'; on December 25, 2009 the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate Court sentenced him to 11 years in prison with two years' deprivation of political rights. On October 8, 2010 the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced him as that year's Peace laureate 'for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China'; at the December 10 ceremony in Oslo, his prize was placed on an empty chair. In June 2017 Liaoning prison authorities suddenly announced medical parole, saying he was suffering from late-stage liver cancer, and transferred him to a hospital in Shenyang; his request to seek treatment abroad was denied; he died in state custody on July 13, 2017. Liu Xia was forced to endure another year of house arrest before being allowed to leave for Germany in July 2018. [1]

Since then, the statement says, Chinese authorities have repressed efforts to commemorate Liu's life and work. Most recently, in February 2026, a court in Hangzhou sentenced human rights defenders Zou Wei and Zan Aizong to three and a half years and three years respectively on allegations of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' — a vague charge that United Nations human rights officials have called on Beijing to repeal — for merely gathering to remember Liu Xiaobo. This account is separately corroborated by a public post from human rights researcher William Nee, who says the two were sentenced in February 2026. [1][2]

The statement also cites the organisation's September 2026 finding that denial of adequate medical care in detention is the most common form of torture used against prisoners of conscience in China. CHRD urges concerned governments and United Nations offices to press Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping and other senior Chinese government officials at every opportunity for credible investigations of all officials responsible for violations of the human rights of Liu and his family and supporters.

Verification note: this record documents the verifiable public act — CHRD's publication of its anniversary statement (full text on its website). The historical account of the Liu case, the sentencing details in the Zou Wei and Zan Aizong case, and the 'denial of medical care is the most common form of torture' finding are that organisation's own statements, which this site has not independently verified; the Zou/Zan case currently has only two aligned sources (the statement and the researcher's post), and judicial documents or independent reporting are still needed. This site will continue to follow up. [1][2]
