Chinese pro-democracy activist Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this month. In response, Chinese authorities have called the prize an obscenity, kept him in prison, placed his wife under house-arrest, and detained additional activists.

But the government is split over whether to release him, liberalize the media and usher in other democratic reforms. Moderates within the Communist Party that opposed the 2009 conviction of Liu Xiaobo could be emboldened by the Nobel Committee’s announcement. Our global call for the release of Liu Xiaobo will empower the Chinese democracy movement.
