「歐洲漢學學會」（European Association for Chinese Studies，簡稱EACS）一月十五日向中國國家主席胡錦濤發公開信，要求中國政府立即釋放劉曉波。
   
歐洲漢學協會於１９７５年在法國巴黎成立。協會目前擁有來自36個國家的註冊會員逾8００人，是歐洲最具影響力的漢學學術研究機構。  致力於促進歐洲對中國的了解和推廣。

這封公開信於1月22日發布在網站（http://www.eu-china.net/web/cms/front_content.php?idcat=4&idart=1273）上，下面是公開信的中、英文版本：
   
    中華人民共和國
   
    北京市西城區中南海
   
    中華人民共和國主席
   
    胡錦濤閣下
   
    致中華人民共和國主席的公開信
   
    2010年1月15日
   
    尊敬的胡錦濤先生，
   
歐洲漢學學會由來自36個國家（主要是歐洲國家）的800多名學者組成，致力於了解和提升中國：古代文化，近期劇變，以及中國在全球舞台上的興起。作為漢學家，我們尤其對與中國學者和學術機構改革開放以來的接觸感到高興。歐洲專家和中國同行之間的合作和學術交流為我們的研究帶來了新的成果，同時也有助於在歐洲推廣中國文化。
   

鑒於近年來中國在以上方面的正面發展，我們對2009年12月25日北京市第一中級人民法院以「煽動顛覆國家政權罪」判處劉曉波11年有期徒刑，深感失望和悲哀。劉曉波博士曾任北京師範大學中文系講師，是中國文學和哲學領域的著名學者，在中文寫作方面享有盛名。他的主要「罪行」是積極參與起草和傳播《零八憲章》。該文件於2008年12月公諸於世。
   
細讀《零八憲章》全文之後，我們確信，這份文件並沒有倡導顛覆，而是討論了對促成中國經濟增長和現代化之間的和諧所必不可少的政治和社會改革，以及行政和法律制度中那些導致中國社會病態發展的因素。如果對《零八憲章》所提出的問題和解決方案，不去討論，反而治罪，那麼長遠而言，這將妨礙國家的健康發展。
   
在我們看來，《零八憲章》旨在繼續推動改革開放、倡導現代化、改善全體中國人民的生活，因此值得以「實事求是」的精神研究討論。《零八憲章》提出「應該結束以言治罪」。這讓人想起中國的古訓，偉大的歷史學家和人文學家司馬遷司紀錄如下：防民之口，甚於防水。
   
我們敦促閣下，再次斟酌您作為中國人民共和國最高領導人在這一問題上的立場，並利用您的權威，務必重新考慮劉曉波案件，釋放劉曉波。我們相信您對中國和中國人民未來的輝煌充滿誠意，因此堅信，對於我們的呼籲，您不會充耳不聞。

    His Excellency Hu Jintao
   
    President of the People's Republic of China
   
    Zhongnanhai, Xichengqu,

    People』s Republic of China
   
    OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE』S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
   
    January 15, 2010
   
    Your Excellency,
   
The European Association for Chinese Studies represents more than 800 scholars from 36 countries, mostly in Europe, who dedicate their efforts to the understanding and promotion of China, its ancient culture, as well as its recent spectacular transformation and rise on the global scene. As sinologists we are particularly happy about the contacts we have established with scholars and scholarly institutions in China since the beginning of the policy of reform and opening up. Cooperation and academic exchange between specialists in Europe and China brings out new results in our work and also helps the promotion of Chinese culture in Europe in general.
   
Given all these positive developments in China in recent years, we are disappointed and saddened by the trial of Liu Xiaobo, who on December 25, 2009 was sentenced by No. 1 Intermediate People』s Court in Beijing to 11 years in prison on charges of 「agitation activities aimed at subversion of the government」. Dr. Liu Xiaobo, former Beijing Normal University lecturer, is a well-known scholar in the field of Chinese literature and philosophy, and a renowned writer. His main 「crime」 was the active part he took in drafting and disseminating Charter 08, a document made public more than one year ago, in December 2008.

After careful scrutiny of the full text of Charter 08, we are convinced this document does not call for subversion, but for a discussion about political and social reforms indispensable for harmonization between the dazzling economic growth and modernization in China and those features in the administration and legal system which create unhealthy developments in Chinese society. If the problems and suggestions for their solution as they are outlined in Charter 08 are criminalized instead of discussed, they could in a long run impede the healthy development of the country.
   
In our view, Charter 08 aims at continuing the policies of reform and opening up, policies of modernization and improvement of life for all Chinese people, and as such it deserves to be studied and discussed in the spirit of 「seeking truth from facts」. One of the things Charter 08 says is 「we should end the practice of viewing words as crimes」. This reminds us of the ancient Chinese wisdom recorded from earlier sources by the great historian and humanist Sima Qian: 「To block people』s mouth is worse than blocking a river」.
   
We urge you, your Excellency, to reconsider the official position of the highest leadership of the People』s Republic of China in this matter, and to use all your authority to ensure that Liu Xiaobo』s case will be reconsidered and he will be released. We rely on your genuine concern for the future glory of your country and the Chinese people, and strongly believe that our plea will not fall upon a deaf ear.
   
    Brunhild Staiger (President, EACS)
