Hundreds of chairs, as empty as that of Oslo , leave the street as a form of support to Liu
BEIJING - Even a chair can discreetly disagree. If it is empty may even oppose, and many more. It is the effect on China-Liu. Hundreds of empty chairs, old, broken and really greasy like most of those who offer themselves in the cell, have appeared since last night outside their homes, lined up along the streets like a silent army and disarmed. After a few hours of wonder even the police understood to parade in front of empty chairs in a dissent that the Chinese believed dead, forced into hiding like a rat lame, or closed in gabbiaL prodigious exhibition was inspired by the empty chair on Friday accepted the Nobel inconsegnabile Oslo. It was Liu Xiaobo, who has been denied the happiness of your hands that he wanted to dedicate to the memory of dead souls Tiananmen Square.
The empty chairs were Chinese but also an unprecedented rebuke popular way to tell the government, with the eastern education, a part of this great nation was ashamed, finally feeling more like a lonely man who has been induced to despise rather than on the side of excessive certainty of an apparatus doubtful that you should fear. In Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have started it stops threatening the empty chairs. Dissidents, activists, friends and even relatives of those who dare to plead not quite enthusiastic, do not remain on the loose again.
Cops and neighborhood "volunteers socialists" have been so committed to sunset at the complex round-up of the chairs dedicated to Mr. Liu. These ramshackle symbol of resistance were exhibited away from cities, towns and villages. Someone has lit a candle on the seat, has compiled a flower, leave a note, or placed a cookie.
Ghosts of empty seats has frightened the party when it seemed to spread in universities. In four power classes were suspended for two hours and found the chairs in the yards have been removed. In many restaurants, tables of the group were booked with an increase of one, left free. In the center of Beijing seized the chairs, raised as criminals were thrown in gray van to disappear as it happens those who protest. The big haul was completed with the Securities and darkness was conducted with discretion.
Officially the police have "accelerated the evacuation of buildings to be restored." The owners of the chairs have explained that he had just released "of stuff that was not there anymore." Security forces are nerves because even in China expose a chair out of the house, or leave it on a sidewalk, is a crime. No arrest was made and the benches are gone because they "interfere with movement." Power was however more impressed by the protests of his chairs from the testimony of one of Oslo.
Two days ago he scared with the perfection censorship and propaganda. Nobody could accept the award, not a voice was raised in country s to thank Liu Xiaobo and a swirl of accusations swept Nobel and the U.S.. The open hole in the net of social control has revealed a rather unexpected fragility, confirming that the Web is now the first lever of change. It was the tam-tam online, bypassing the filters of the system, to launch a mockery of the sun and expose them to invite those in the world like being free. Two images broadcast on Twitter made in China showed a Chinese flag with the best wishes to Liu Xiaobo, hanging from the University
Changsha, in Hunnan. Hackers of the State have been destroyed, but among Internet users now the challenge was s game and the Net is filled with hymns: "Nobody can stop the empty chair,"
