【新唐人2013年01月02日讯】数百网友联署呼吁释放朱承志
大陆22位维权人士为营救民主人士朱承志，而发起的网络签名活动，获得广泛回应，在短短两天时间内，就有超过400位海内外网友签名。
由大陆人权活动人士王荔蕻、艾晓明、江天勇、李方平、肖国珍等人发起的联署呼吁书说，朱承志在湖南邵阳民运人士李旺阳落难时，照顾并资助他，李旺阳离奇死亡，朱承志为朋友的冤情主持正义，反遭构陷，纵使失去自由，也矢志不移。
呼吁书还说，从2012年6月8号至今，62岁的朱承志已经失去自由200多天，无法预料，“煽动颠覆国家政权”这项罪名是否会最终坐实？难以想像，这位古道热肠的老人，还要被迫失去多久自由？
联署信要求邵阳当局立即无条件释放朱承志。参与发起活动的维权人士吴淦表示，签名只是第一步，今后还会有更多的行动。

Several Hundred Netizens Call for Release of Zhu Chengzhi
Twenty two activists in mainland China
have launched an online petition.
The petition is to rescue the democrat
Zhu Chengzhi, and has triggered a wide response.
In two days, over 400 supporters have signed their names.
The petition letter was jointly written by several activists,
including Wang Lizhi, Ai Xiaoming and Jiang Tianyong.
Zhu Chengzhi has supported democrat Li Wangyang
in Shangyang, Hunan province, when Li was persecuted.
As Li died mysteriously, Zhu insisted to uphold justice
for his friend, but Zhu was persecuted by the authorities.
Though Zhu lost his freedom, his mind was still unchanged.
The petition letter said that since June 8, 2012 until now,
62-year-old Zhu has his freedom taken for 200 days.
It is unclear if the charge of “inciting subversion
of state power” placed on Zhu will put him in jail.
It is unpredictable how long Zhu will have his freedom taken.
The petition letter also requests
Shangyang authorities to release Zhu.
Activist Wu Gan, who was one of the founders of this petition,
said that the online signature campaign is the first step.
More events will follow.
