Over 26000; Liu Xiaobo in critical state; More supporters at Shenyang

We have now reached over 26000 signatures; Thank you for the great show of support from all around the world! On a not so happy note, official updates from the Medical University of China First Hospital shows that Liu Xiaobo is in a critical state and may even be in a coma. When Dr. Büchler and Dr. Herman visited Liu Xiaobo during the weekend, they still deemed him fit enough to travel. However it does seem that time is rapidly running out, and we urgently need all eyes on Liu Xiaobo, on Shenyang, and on China right now. We are also seeing more and more citizens inside China standing up in support of Liu Xiaobo. While citizens attempting to visit Liu in Shenyang keep getting detained, more and more people still keep on going. The attached pictures is of 4 citizens standing outside the hospital, posing with a banner "Only Freedom can save Xiaobo", and wearing (banned) T-shirts with portrait of Liu. Again we applaud them for their bravery and we hope that they would stay safe. In Hong Kong, we saw supporters camping outside the Liaison Office of China in a marathon sitting protest. In New York graffiti was sprayed on the wall of the Chinese embassy saying "Free Liu Xiaobo". In the UK a letter writing campaign has been launched to lobby MP to put pressure on China. We are heartened to see such outpouring of support for Liu Xiaobo, and let's keep up the fight until both Liu Xiaobo and Liu Xia are free!
