I've come out of a small jail and entered a bigger one.

I chose to defend human rights because I cannot maintain my silence in the face of injustice.

The Chinese foreign ministry has said more than once that I am a free person. Did I do anything wrong by leaving my home?

My fervent hope is that it would be possible for me and my family to leave for the U.S. on Hillary Clinton's plane.

How a society treats its disabled is the true measure of a civilization.

I want to extend my gratitude and thankfulness to all those who care and love my family and myself, and our situation, especially the American people who show their care about the quality of justice as a universal value and I'm very grateful to all of you.

I'm just doing what my conscience asks me to do.
