DEMOCRACY FOR CHINA, THE NOBEL FOR WEI

Leader of the "Wall for Democracy" movement between 1978 and 1979.

Arrested on March 29, 1979 for "spreading secrets of State", Wei was sentenced to 15 years in prison for "counter-revolutionary crimes".

In 1992, from his prison he wrote to Deng Xiaoping asking him to start negotiations with the Dalai Lama.

Released in 1993, Wei continued to openly denounce human rights violations in China.

Arrested again on April 1, 1994 he was detained in a secret place for 20 months with neither charges nor trial.

On November 21, 1995, Chinese authorities sentenced him to a new 15-year term.

Supporting Wei means supporting democracy in China and Tibet, and strenghtening the struggle for human right as well.
