"I have no enemies: My final Statement" (Chinese: 我没有敌人──我的最后陈述) was an essay written by Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese dissident and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, intended to be read at his trial in December 2009.[1] [2]
Liu was charged with the crime of "inciting subversion of state power". He came before the court in Beijing, China on 23 December 2009, and was sentenced to an 11-year imprisonment on 25 December.
Although Liu was never allowed to be heard during his trial, the essay was later published and was well received.[3] It became the laureate's speech delivered by Liv Ullmann at the award ceremony for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony on 10 December 2010.[4]
