今天，我们在洛杉矶中国领事馆前声援乔鑫鑫（本名杨泽伟）。
乔鑫鑫，曾经的媒体人，也是“拆墙运动”的参与者与推动者。2023年，乔鑫鑫与他人一起发起了拆墙行动，传播拆墙技术以及信息自由的理念，帮助更多的人突破封锁、了解外部世界。正是由于这些努力，他于同年5月在老挝遭到跨国抓捕，随后被以“煽动颠覆国家政权罪”的罪名起诉，2024年，他被判处有期徒刑五年。
这不仅是对一个人的打压，更是对言论自由与信息自由的打压。
在这个本该信息畅通的时代，中共却建起了防火墙，使14亿人中的大多数被困在无形的“高墙”之中。防火墙的建立，使得信息被过滤，声音被压制，真实被掩盖。而乔鑫鑫所做的，就是在这堵墙上凿出一道道缝隙，让人们从这一道道细缝里，看到外面真实的世界。
他所传播的，不只是技术，更是一种理念，一种对真实与自由的坚持。他所做的是帮助人们翻越信息屏蔽的高墙。我们更希望如任志强先生所说：我们要一起努力，把眼前的这堵墙推倒。——拆掉这堵墙。
历史告诉我们：高墙可以存在一时，但不可能存在一世。它可以遮住光，但无法永远封锁光。每一个试图突破信息封锁的人，都是在为后来者开路。
他的遭遇也提醒我们—— 如果选择沉默，不公只会继续； 如果有人发声，改变才有可能发生。
让更多人知道乔鑫鑫的名字，就是在打破封锁； 让信息继续流动，就是在延续自由，延续光。
我们呼吁：停止对翻墙技术人员的打压与迫害，保障基本的言论自由与信息获取权利。释放一切政治犯！
信息自由无罪，言论自由无罪。 高墙也许仍在，但光终会穿透。
Solidarity with Qiao Xinxin, Who Was Suppressed for Participating in the BanGGFW Movement

Today, we stand before the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles to show solidarity with Qiao Xinxin (real name Yang Zewei).
Qiao Xinxin, a former media professional, was also a participant and promoter of the “BanGGFW Movement” (Great Firewall Removal Movement). In 2023, Qiao Xinxin, together with others, initiated the wall-dismantling action, spreading wall-breaking technologies and the concept of freedom of information to help more people break through the blockade and understand the outside world. It was precisely because of these efforts that he was subjected to a transnational arrest in Laos in May of the same year, and was subsequently prosecuted on charges of “inciting subversion of state power.” In 2024, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
This is not only the suppression of one person, but also the suppression of freedom of speech and freedom of information.
In this era where information should be unobstructed, the CCP has built a firewall, leaving the majority of the 1.4 billion people trapped within an invisible “high wall.” The establishment of the firewall causes information to be filtered, voices to be suppressed, and truth to be concealed. What Qiao Xinxin did was to chisel out cracks in this wall, allowing people to see the real world outside through these narrow slits.
What he disseminated was not just technology, but a concept—a persistence in truth and freedom. What he did was help people leap over the high walls of information blocking. We even more so hope, as Mr. Ren Zhiqiang said: We must work together to push down this wall before our eyes. — Tear down this wall.
History tells us: high walls can exist for a time, but they cannot exist for a lifetime. They can block the light, but they cannot blockade the light forever. Every person who attempts to break through the information blockade is paving the way for those who come after.
His ordeal also reminds us— If we choose silence, injustice will only continue; If someone speaks out, change only then becomes possible. Letting more people know the name of Qiao Xinxin is in itself breaking the blockade; Letting information continue to flow is in itself continuing freedom and continuing the light.
We call for: an end to the suppression and persecution of wall-breaking technical personnel, and the protection of basic freedom of speech and the right to access information. Release all political prisoners!
Freedom of information is not a crime; freedom of speech is not a crime. The high wall may still be there, but the light will ultimately penetrate.
