2006年的兩張圖片

2006年隆冬，北京，丁老師70歲生日，被授予獨立中文筆會第四屆自由寫作獎。劉曉波主持并致辭。丁老師點曲，老廖受命吹簫，曲目是《天安門母親》。




這兩張照片很是珍貴，在坐的有《潛規則》作者吳思、如今已坐牢的高瑜、劉曉波，已去世的老包遵信、軟禁中的劉霞以及廖亦武、張祖樺、溫克堅、余杰、不鏽鋼老鼠、張鶴慈等。
當時，老廖也受命撰寫丁老師的推薦辭，如下：
自由寫作委員會：
我们慎重推荐丁子霖先生为独立中文笔会2006年自由写作奖的候选人，其理由是：
从痛失爱子的非人间，她抬起头，在专制铁钳下，以遇难者家属的身份发出了第一声抗议的呐喊。从此，她开始了另一种人生，百折不挠地追寻六四死难者，让那些冤魂的家属们从绝望的阴影走到阳光下，以母爱为纽带，互相扶持，互相联络，互相激励，直到17年后的今天，形成了有100多个六四难属参与进来的天安门母亲运动。
以一个柔弱女性为源头，以水滴石穿的执著，最终成为横在独裁政权面前的无法逾越的道义河流——中国的丁子霖这一名字，只有缅甸的若贝尔和平奖获得者，那个迎着子弹上膛的排枪走过去的柔弱女性昂山素季能够相提并论。
不仅如此，丁子霖还从爱子倒下去的那一刻，就站起来，几乎同步充当了罪恶历史的记录者。从1994年的《六四受难者名册》、1999年的《见证屠杀，寻求正义》，到最近的这本《寻访六四死难者》，她的浮雕般的文字令所有经历过那场屠杀却刻意回避的社会、历史、人种及新闻学家蒙羞，也令所有自称“幸存者”的知识分子蒙羞，更令那些经历过逃亡、失落、回归，最终大彻大悟，懂得利用国内外、东西方的政体落差，玩弄政治、经济、文化的平衡术发财出名的时代精英蒙羞。甚至在某种程度上，也令我们这类自以为做得不错的诗人、作家蒙羞。
自1949年以来，中华民族经历了所谓的解放、镇压反革命、土地改革、三反五反、合作化运动、反右、三年大饥荒、四清、文革、八九年等劫难，非正常死亡的累积人数大约已超过亿万。然而，饿死也算了，杀死也算了，拖死也算了，没有人算过细账，没有人讨过公道。中国人总是习惯等待“平反”，等待共产党自己“有错必纠”，以此来证明杀人者的“伟大、光荣、正确”。丁子霖所提供的六四死难者的名单与证词，与亿万非正常死亡的人数相比，可谓沧海一粟。但这是唯一的与劫难同步的见证，这份“孤证”，为这个号称有五千年历史和文明的懦弱民族挽回了已经丢尽的脸面。
或许有一天，我们的儿女会说，是丁子霖，以及天安门母亲，使他们记住了独立中文笔会，记住了2006年的自由写作奖。

柏林詩歌節，6月25號




感慨萬千。這是天安門大屠殺以來，我和國內的詩人們，第一次在同一個舞臺上朗讀。這是在自由的世界，我能感覺到他們內心的恐懼。在這次朗讀之前，他們中的一個詩人，給我電子郵件，懇求我不要朗讀《大屠殺》。我說，不要害怕，我朗讀和你們沒關係。
我能感覺到，包括一些希望自由進出中國的德國詩人，都很害怕。也許他們的下一個詩歌活動，是在北京。
中國政府實在太有錢了。連詩人的靈魂都可以贖買。

2014年德國書業和平獎得主Jaron Lanier與廖亦武

6 月10日晚間，2014年德國書業和平獎得主、美國計算機科學家、音樂家和作家杰倫·拉尼爾（Jaron Lanier）來到柏林，在書業協會辦公大樓舉辦新書發布，《明鏡周刊》記者與之對談後，作為和平獎前任得主的廖亦武，應邀和他同台切磋即興音樂。並一塊討論文學、網絡、資本壟斷和獨裁壟斷。
杰倫·拉尼爾被視為是數字化世界的先驅，
同時他也是數字資本主義的最尖銳批評者。






下面的介紹文章來自德國之聲：

財富和權力越來越多地集中在那些網絡巨頭手中。杰倫·拉尼爾在其"誰擁有未來"一書中，將這些新一級的巨大數據中心稱為"警報服務器"。這位美國電腦專家認為，擁有全球業務的網絡巨頭如穀歌，Facebook，以及龐大的網絡商店，銀行和保險公司長久以來製造了一種嚴重的不正常局面。因為他們發現，用戶免費提供的數據是一個利潤豐厚的商品。數字化已經逐漸改變了整個經濟生活。拉尼爾擔心，未來它還將會毀滅其它的行業，特別是敏感的中產階層。他認為解決問題的方法是：所有在互聯網創造價值的人，也應該為此分享價值。

數字化世界的締造者

現年54歲的杰倫·拉尼爾被認為是數字化世界的最重要設計者之一。他在美國加利福尼亞州的柏克萊大學任教，在微軟研究所擔任研究員，因其發明和創新獲得兩個榮譽博士學位。 2013年他在德國出版的"誰擁有未來？"一書最近榮獲美國哈佛大學金書獎。該書無疑是近年來最重要的網絡批評出版物之一。而作者本人卓著的職業生涯則與互聯網有著千絲萬縷的關係。

杰倫·拉尼爾1960年出生於紐約，是兩名猶太人大屠殺倖存者的後代。他出生不久後，全家搬到了德克薩斯州的埃爾帕索市附近。杰倫在這裡上學，學習彈鋼琴，聽巴赫的音樂。 10歲時，他的母親死於一場車禍。之後杰倫生病，和他的父親經常搬家，最終找到一位特別的朋友-1930年發現了冥王星的天體物理學家克萊德·湯博（Clyde Tombaugh）。他建議14歲、剛剛輟學的杰倫到新墨西哥州立大學上數學課和化學課。這個建議令杰倫·拉尼爾感到高興。他去了那裡，被允許留下來，並開始學習編程。

多方面的天才

1983年，他開發了他的第一個電腦遊戲​​，為其取了一個美麗的名字"月塵"，這為他贏得了在雅達利公司的一份工作。在此期間，他曾在紐約學習藝術一年，在之後的數年間，他學會了許多樂器的演奏技巧。如今，他收藏有一千多個罕見的古老樂器。他曾與菲利普·格拉斯（Philip Glass）、小野洋子（Yoko Ono）、肖恩·列儂（Sean Lennon）和奧奈特·科爾曼（Ornette Coleman ）一起演奏，創作電影配樂，並在美國和歐洲的許多博物館展出自己的繪畫，素描和裝置藝術。
Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels 2013 Swetlana Alexijewitsch

20世紀80年代，他在加州與發明了"數據手套"的湯姆·齊默爾曼（Tom Zimmerman）相識。 1985年，杰倫·拉尼爾和湯姆·齊默爾曼等人合夥成立了VPL研究所。他們希望為尚還年輕的虛擬世界進一步發展技術。他們成功了。拉尼爾發明了虛擬相機，設計三維圖形電影，也推動了網絡的發展。

不知具體是在什麼時候，但是在斯諾登（Edward Snowdons）揭秘前，他實現了他的又一個發明-沒有人能看到小心！提防手機APP收集個人信息網絡用戶的任何信息，無法知道他們的任何情況。杰倫·拉尼爾還發明了一個免費的照片和視頻共享程序。 2010年，他為發展該應用程序成立了一家公司。公司有13名員工，但是沒有商業計劃。兩年後，Facebook出價十億美元將其收購。

在法蘭克福國際書展上，杰倫·拉尼爾不僅警告網絡巨頭和秘密情報機構不要囤積數據，他也對社交網絡的用戶提出批評。他指出，誰要是免費將其數據交給像Facebook和Google 這樣的網絡巨頭，就等於是讓財富集中在少數富豪手中的推手。這是在破壞民主，因為"知識就是力量。"

受到嘉獎

2014年10月12日，杰倫·拉尼爾在法蘭克福聖保羅教堂被授予德國書業和平獎。用評委會的話說，獲獎的原因是這位數字世界的領軍人"已經認識到，數字世界對每個人的自由生活方式蘊藏著什麼樣的風險。" 歐洲議會主席馬丁·舒爾茨主持了頒獎儀式。

A Letter to Members of the European Parliament Regarding Nomination of Professor Ilham Tohti for the Sakharov Prize

廖按語：

A Letter to Members of the European Parliament
Regarding Nomination of Professor Ilham Tohti for the Sakharov Prize


                                                                                                                        June，16，2015                                                                                                

Dear Member of the European Parliament,  

We are writing to urge you to nominate the Uighur economist Ilham Tohti for this year’s Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. We are a diverse group of individuals and organizations from around the world who are deeply concerned about the Chinese government’s persecution of Professor Tohti, and the deplorable state of freedom of expression and human rights in China.
We understand that the European Union has been equally concerned about Professor Tohti, and that EU spokespersons have on multiple occasions issued statements of support, as have several non-European governments. In February, 2014, shortly after Professor Tohti was arrested, the High Representative of the Union of Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton expressed her concern. In August 2014, an EU spokesperson stated: "We are deeply concerned about the announcement that Professor Ilham Tohti has been charged with separatism, after more than six months of detention without adequate access to his lawyer and proper medical care. For years, Professor Tohti has worked peacefully within China's laws to promote equal rights for all of China's citizens and to encourage exchange and understanding between different ethnic groups.” In astatement on September 23, 2014, the EU’s External Action Service said: "The EU condemns the life sentence for alleged ‘separatism’ handed out today to Uighur economics professor Ilham Tohti, which is completely unjustified.”
We thank the European Union for its firm stance on this case, and we wish to thank you, as a member of the European Parliament, for your unwavering support of Professor Ilham Tohti. We have also been encouraged by the wide-range of support from journalists, writers, and academics.
Professor Tohti was from an elite Uighur family, and many of its members, including his father, were in fact Communist Party cadres in China’s northeastern region, inhabited by Uighurs and other ethnicities. As a rarified member of the small Uighur intelligentsia and an economist at the prestigious Minzu University in Beijing, he could have enjoyed a stable and comfortable life. However, Professor Tohti grew increasingly concerned by the worsening economic and cultural plight of his people, and the division between the Uighurs and Han Chinese, China’s dominant ethnicity. He decided to address those issues in his teaching, research work and academic writings, in a climate where speaking out requires courage, and carries tremendous personal risk and cost. From 1994 to 2003, he was barred on and off from publishing and teaching due to his criticism of the failures of the local government in Xinjiang. In 2006, Professor Tohti founded Uighur Online, a website designed to facilitate peaceful communication and build trust between Uighurs and Han people. It was repeatedly hacked and eventually shut down in 2009. After the July unrest in Xinjiang in 2009, Professor Tohti faced increasingly harsher treatment. He was subjected to short detentions, house arrests, confiscation of assets, verbal and physical threats, and was barred from traveling outside China.  
But he persisted in his peaceful advocacy on behalf of Uighurs and for better relations between Uighurs and Han. Among the policy recommendations he made in 2011 to Chinese leaders, he championed economic, cultural, and religious policies conducive to peaceful ethnic co-existence, and warned that “Xinjiang’s coercive stability maintenance policies, particularly in the area of religion, are having a grave impact on the lives, jobs and mobility of Xinjiang’s Uighur population. If the government does not change its thinking and tactics with respect to religious issues, I fear that religion will become the single biggest cause of ethnic strife and social discord in Xinjiang.”
The Economist noted, “No other Uighur inside the country has come close to speaking out on such issues with his persistence.” Professor Tohti has been known as a moderate and a voice of understanding between Han Chinese and ethnic minorities. But as early as 2009, he prepared himself for prison, even death. “That just might be the price our people have to pay,” he said. “Though I may have to go, perhaps that will draw more attention to the plight of our people.”
“After seeing the judgment against me, contrary to what people may think, I now think I have a more important duty to bear,” he said in a statement issued the day after his trial concluded in September 2014. “Peace is a heavenly gift to the Uighur and Han people. Only peace and good will can create common interest.”
Now, nine months into his prison term, Professor Tohti has not been allowed a single family visit.
Whenever a courageous man stands up against injustice, he stands up for all of us, and we must stand behind him and behind the values we believe in. We shall not fail him. The EU and the leading democracies in the world have a responsibility to be the champions of Professor Tohti.
Our hope is that the European Parliament will award Professor Ilham Tohti the Sakharov Prize for his courage, intelligence, and dignity, evident in his work, his character, and his public expressions over the span of twenty years. All this he has done at great risk to himself and his family. The prize, we hope, will also help bring attention to the plight of the Uighur people and China’s deleterious policies in Xinjiang as Professor Tohti so hoped.

Yours faithfully,

A selection of Professor Ilham Tohti’s writings and interviews

My Ideals and the Career Path I Have Chosen, 2011. In this autobiographical essay, Professor Ilham Tohti relates his upbringing, education, aspiration, and work. One of the sections is about the founding and running of the Uighur Online website, long since being disabled. 
Present-Day Ethnic Problems in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region Overview and Recommendations, 2011. This document was written by Professor Ilham Tohti in response to a 2011 request from high-level officials in the Chinese government. In it, the author examines nine areas of social, political, economic and religious life in China’s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, analyzes the underlying causes of ethnic tensions in Xinjiang, and provides concrete recommendations for reducing ethnic strife and protecting the basic rights of Xinjiang’s citizens. Executive summary available.

Ilham Tohti’s Statement after Receiving a Life Sentence for Allegedly “Separatist” Crimes, September 25, 2014. “My outcries are for our people and, even more, for the future of China.”

2009 Interview, in this sober interview conducted by Professor Ilham Tohti’s friend, Tibetan writer Woeser, in the wake of Urumqi unrest in 2009, Ilham reflected on the personal risks he had taken on, the hardship he and his family had been going through after their assets were confiscated, and how, despite everything, he would be honored to “trade my humble life to call for freedom.”
Statement by phone to Radio Free Asia days before he was detained on Jan. 15, 2014. “I have never associated myself with a terrorist organization or a foreign-based group. The path I have pursued all along is an honorable and a peaceful path. I have relied only on pen and paper to diplomatically request the human rights, legal rights, and autonomous regional rights for the Uyghurs.” 
Ilham Tohti should get the Nobel peace prize, not life in prison, Teng Biao’s op-ed in the Guardian, September, 2014. “While the secret police see secrets everywhere, Tohti had none. Everything he has said and written is published online or in the media. It is an absurdity that he was charged, tried and sentenced for separatism.” “The Chinese communist authorities, with their excessive violence, have created hostility, division and despair in Xinjiang and Tibet. Tohti has denounced violence and devoted himself to bridging the divide and promoting understanding and tolerance. He should be awarded the Nobel peace prize, not tortured and locked up in prison.”

美國筆會敦促北京無條件釋放所有獄中作家

文／廖亦武
財大氣粗的獨裁中國在六四屠殺26週年前向民主西方瘋狂展示“文化軟實力”，繼總理李克強訪問拉美，帶上莫言、鐵凝，以平衡不平等的“文學與意識形態交流”之後，中國又充當了紐約美國書展的主賓國。主打作家全部出自中國作協，卻遭到美國筆會組織的抗議——
這令老廖想起前不久，前中國文化部長王蒙率團訪問臺灣，卻受到臺灣政府的隆重接待，兩邊官方媒體都高調報道，兩邊文人們應酬唱和，醜態百出，好像統一大業，首先在文化、文學上實現了，卻沒見任何團體出來抗議——
西方的確有臺灣值得借鑒的地方，下面這篇報道就是——

美國筆會敦促北京無條件釋放所有獄中作家

星期三，中國作為主賓國參加紐約美國書展開幕當天，美國筆會中心舉行抗議中國審查制度、聲援被監禁中國異議作家的集會。著名華裔作家哈金說，他也有一個中國夢，那就是中國公民可以自由出版報紙、建立政黨。與會者簽署了一封致習近平抗議信，要求中國政府立即、無條件釋放因言治罪的所有中國異議作家和記者。
初夏的傍晚，在紐約地標建築之一的公立圖書館前，此刻，備受人們關注的是因言論被治罪、遭打壓的中國作家和記者。在圖書館面向第五大道的寬闊台階上，維族作家伊利哈木、藏族作家唯色、諾貝爾和平獎得主劉曉波和他妻子劉霞，以及艾未未的畫像，吸引著熙熙攘攘過往遊人駐足觀看。
如影隨形的抗議
美國筆會中心舉行的聲援中國異議作家的集會，向幾個街口之外，作為主賓國參加美國書展的中國政府發出抗議。美國筆會中心執行主任蘇珊·諾瑟爾說，數百人的中國龐大代表團作為主賓國正參加美國書展，這是中國傳播軟實力、向世界展示其文學創造力繁榮昌盛的機會，雖然在一黨專制的鎮壓之下。但是她說：“在此歡慶之時，我們在這裡要紀念那些被中國封殺的、恐嚇的、監禁的和壓制的聲音。”
小說《日落公園》作者保羅·奧斯特爾、作家喬納森·弗蘭岑、中國旅英作家郭小櫓、出版人鮑樸等依次上台，朗讀包括伊力哈木、唯色、劉曉波、劉霞和流亡德國作家廖亦武等中國異議作家的作品片段。
因促進維漢對話而被以分裂罪判終身監禁的伊力哈木，2014年獲頒美國筆會芭芭拉•戈德史密斯自由寫作獎。
“我肯定不會自殺”
美國小說家喬納森·弗蘭岑朗讀了伊力哈木在被捕前預感到處境危險而事先留下的聲明的片段：“如果我在不久之後死去，不會是自然死亡，我肯定也不會自殺。 ”
奧斯特爾朗讀了劉曉波1999年在獄中寫給妻子劉霞信的片段。
哈金是用英文寫作的最著名華裔作家之一，他已經在美國出版了16本著作。他的小說《等待》、《落地》、《小鎮奇人軼事》、《南京安魂曲》的中譯本在中國出版，他說：“我很幸運了，不過，被刪節還是很心疼。”
在波士頓大學任教的哈金，自1989年赴美留學至今未能回國，“我母親前年去世了，住院四年了，每次去簽證都有藉口，申請了好幾次，不給你簽證。”
我也有個中國夢
哈金在發言中抨擊習近平上台後嚴控意識形態、製造恐怖氣氛。他說，建立在鎮壓不同聲音基礎上的中國夢只能是個噩夢，而他也有一個中國夢：“我希望有一天，任何中國公民都可以公開批評他們的國家主席或總理，而無須恐懼被打壓；中國公民可以自由出版報紙，並建立他們自己的政黨。”
哈金利用發言的機會為被監禁、被騷擾的異議作家、藝術家、維權人士呼籲：“我在這裡呼籲中國政府釋放劉曉波、劉霞、高瑜、伊力哈木、浦志強、郭玉閃以及其他良心犯，停止騷擾艾未未、唯色等異議人士，以及民權人士，並打開國門允許流亡者回國。”
專程從中國前來參加這一活動著名網絡作家慕容雪村宣讀了2013年他社交網站所有賬號被封殺、一下失去了800萬粉絲後發表的一封抗議審查制度的公開信片段。
終於有地方可以自由說話了
慕容雪村在接受美國之音採訪時說，參加這一活動時他的心情是“我終於有個地方可以自由地說話了。”
他表示，像他這樣的作家，“是審查制度的最大受害者之一，即使作品能出版也已被改得面目全非，而且未來會越來越艱難。”
他指出：“毫無疑問，審查是文學——包括言論、思想——是我們文明的最主要的敵人。如果能有機會站出來反對審查，我無論如何都會站出來的。”
對中國的未來抱持樂觀態度的慕容雪村說，他能感受到這個社會正在緩慢地、悄悄地發生變化“我能知道一潭死水之下正在醞釀什麼樣的波濤，這個是我能感受到的。”
抗議集會結束後，與會者排隊在一封致中國國家主席習近平的抗議信上簽名，要求中國政府立即無條件釋放所有因行使中國憲法和人權而被監禁的異議人士，停止打壓批評政府中國作家和記者。
