Subject:

Your Letter:

I am writing to express my deep concern about Norzin Wangmo [Ch: 龙真旺姆, Pinyin: Nuozeng Wangmu] a Tibetan writer and cadre, who was given a five year prison sentence on 3 November 2008 for exercising her right to freedom of expression. Norzin Wangmo has been tortured during her detention.

Exact details of the charges against Norzin or information about where she is being held are still unknown, despite the fact that she has been in detention for almost three years.

For Norzin Wangmo's actions to exercise her right to freedom of expression to be considered a crime diminishes China's standing in the world and proves that China does not respect the constitutional right of individuals to enjoy freedom of speech.

I urge you to release Norzin Wangmo immediately and unconditionally. I also request that, given concerns about her whereabouts and her health, the Chinese authorities release information about which prison Norzin is being held in and allow her family to visit her as is the entitlement of all prisoners under Chinese law.

Mr Frank La Rue, UN Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression is receiving a copy of this message.

通过这封呼吁信，我想表达我对诺增旺姆的关注。作为作家和政府公务员的诺增旺姆由于行使她自由表达的权利而在2008年11月3号被判刑3年，并在其间受到各种酷刑。 
虽然她在牢中已经快3年了，但是具体的她为什么被判刑以及她现在被关在哪里仍然不得知。 
诺增旺姆行使自己自由表达的权利被当作是一种罪行将会影响中国在国际社会上的地位，而且证明中国政府无视宪法中所规定的个人行使自由表达的权利。
我强烈敦促当局立即无条件释放诺增旺姆。而且考虑到到目前为止她的健康状况以及她被关在哪里仍然不得而知，我要求中国政府提供诺增旺姆正在被关押着的监狱的确切信息，并允许她的家人探望，这也是中国的相关法律中所规定的。

这封呼吁信同时也会被发送到联合国保护与促进自由表达权利机构的特派员 Mr Frank La Rue.
