    […] 高级讲师、中国研究主任Vanessa Frangville博士；法国汉学家、前巴黎大学教授Marie Holzman (侯芷明); 印第安纳大学中央欧亚研究教授Elloit Sperling (史伯岭), 以及我本人。我们六个人各自从地域政治、中国政府的维吾尔族政策等不同方面出发，共同回答了伊力哈木∙土赫提教授为什么应该获得萨哈罗夫自由思想奖这个问题。到会的包括多位议员及助手，以及国际特赦、前线卫士等多家国际人权组织的代表。绿党-欧洲自由联盟议员、欧洲议会人权委员会副主席Barbara Lochbihler 到会作了总结发言。她的发言显示她对伊力哈木案件以及维吾尔人所面临的经济、文化、宗教和政治困境有全面而准确的了解。她指出，萨哈罗夫奖应该成为促进积极变化的一个工具。由于China Change网站过去两年对伊力哈木教授的著作、访谈进行了系统翻译介绍，并编辑了一部关于伊力哈木的30分钟的记录片，我的发言集中在伊力哈木的生平、工作与理想。我将我的发言翻译成了中文，与中文读者分享： […]
