(RSF/IFEX) - Reporters Without Borders is relaying the petition launched by Chinese writers and intellectuals calling for the release of prominent economist Ilham Tohti, founder of the blog Uyghur Online (http://www.uighurbiz.cn), who was arrested following rioting on 5 July 2009 in Urumqi, capital of the autonomous region of Xinjiang.

World Writers' Association outraged by the charges brought against Liu Xiaobo, dissident writer and former President of the Independent Chinese PEN Centre.

Before you enter the grave
Don't forget to write me with your ashes
Do not forget to leave your address in the nether world
-from a poem by Liu Xiaobo.
