我们在近期终于通过了政治庇护的申请!

你们好! 我们是中国人权捍卫者、著名民主异议人士、中国在押政治犯张林之女张儒莉和张安妮。在这里首先告诉大家一个好消息:我们在近期终于通过了政治庇护的申请!感谢美国政府和各界人士的帮助,尤其是瑞杰女士(Reggie Littlejohn ,  Attorney Jessica Kim 和陈光诚 。这一年来,我们住在瑞杰女士的家中并收获了很多。安妮从去年刚来时完全不懂英文,到现在成为成绩全A的六年级学生。同时她还学会了游泳和钢琴,并多次在教堂演奏钢琴。儒莉也在瑞杰和罗伯特的帮助拿到了美国高中普通教育发展证书。并且申请到了社会安全号。现在也找到了一份工作,并在学习开车。一切的一切进行的如此顺利! 但是,我们的父亲张林,仍在狱中受苦受难。审判结果下来后,他被转送到安徽省铜陵市北京东路一号铜陵监狱。原来在蚌埠时,爷爷奶奶还可以一个月去送一次钱给他。现在被送到铜陵,大大加大了爷爷奶奶去看望他的难度。而且在中国监狱,如果你监狱帐号没有钱的话,你能吃的只有稀饭和咸菜。瑞杰听说了这件事后很是担心,决定她的组织女权无疆界每个月寄给爸爸一百美金。原本是奶奶把这个钱带给爸爸,可现在监狱那么远,爷奶身体又不好,看望和送钱给他成了很大的问题。可是被判了三年六个月的他,到底做错了什么? 去年2月,父亲张林带着妹妹张安妮从家乡安徽蚌埠转学到合肥。但因父亲是民主异议人士,小安妮就被合肥市国保绑架拘留了24小时,并从此不让返回合肥的学校上学。小安妮至此失学了,终日在家郁郁寡欢不肯见人。试想10岁女儿无辜受牵连遭迫害,哪一个做父亲的不会为女儿伸张正义讨回公道?何况是一位勇敢无畏的父亲!事后父亲只想为女儿讨回一个公道,在网上发布信息后,得到各地网友声援。去年4月,各地网友自发集聚合肥为父亲和安妮讨回公道希望安妮能重返校园。可事与愿违,不仅没有讨回公道,反而自发帮助父亲的朋友们受到不同等级的拘留作为惩罚,而父亲和安妮此后也受到来自蚌埠国保24小时的监控。 2013年7月18日晚,父亲张林以涉嫌聚众扰乱公共场所秩序被捕,12月18日开庭审理却并未给结果。在这之间,省高院批准一次延期,最高法院批准两次延期。8月29日,法院突然通知将在9月5日开庭给结果。通知突然,以至于张林两位律师刘晓原律师和李方平律师都无法到场,只有步履蹒跚的爷爷奶奶相互搀扶出席。审判结果下来后,张林当场提出上诉。可不久后法院在没有通知任何家人、律师的情况下,直接开庭通知驳回上诉维持原判。张林现任律师王宇律师直呼这是违犯行为。 在此之前,父亲张林因坚持走民主道路,已坐牢四次共计十三年。因长期坐牢和早年狱中遭受虐待,身体落下很多疾病并无法治愈。因坚持民主道路,他几近奉献一身,可换来的是自己仍然深陷囹圄和子女背井离乡。现在,我们非常担心他的身体已经承受不住监狱的折磨。试问这次他究竟做错了什么?是把日夜受迫害的实情公之于众有错?还是因女儿被警察绑架拘留而发声有错?还是为女儿争取公平上学的权利有错?在我看来,就是因为中共的专政腐败被揭开而打击报复像父亲张林一类的正义之士! 所以在此我们呼吁,希望得到你们的关注,因为你们的关注可以换的我们父亲的自由!于此同时,我们还要为因合肥事件依然被关在狱中的姚诚,周维林与李化平叔叔呼吁。今年7月30日,李化平叔叔案件在芜湖开庭审理,但至今未给结果;姚诚设周维林叔叔的案件也终于在今年8月6日开庭审理,并未给出结果。他们用他们的正义之心,勇敢得站出来为自由而呐喊的精神感染着我们,我们不能忘记他们以及国内其他很多正在受迫害的政治犯,因为他们正牺牲自己的自由换取更多人的自由!希望父亲和叔叔们能尽快获释出狱,期待奥巴马总统及各国领导能更多关注中国的人权状况,希冀中国的人权状况能实际有所改善,期待中国早日能行民主宪政之路! 最后,两位思念父亲的女儿,为我们的父亲和叔叔们,再次向你们大声呼吁:关注他们吧!因为你们的关注可以使得他们换得自由! 中国大陆人权捍卫者、在押政治犯张林之女:张儒莉、张安妮
