Ladies and gentlemen,

I hereby express my gratitude to the australian  Qi’s cultural foundation for the excellent award that I received.It means a lot to me and to all of the volunteers as well in the 15th anniversary of the establishment of tianwang humanitarian affairs center.

Since the civil rights movement initiated in 1998,our center has get through 3 stages:the search firm,64tianwang,and the humanitarian affairs center.In the joint efforts of the external and internal of the system,our land scale defensing legal rights mode has been rapidly expanded to the unique massif civil activism site in 1999 relying on the thousands of petitioning cases throughout the country.We’ve getting through over thousands of cases,and keep helping millions of the human-rights-deprived people in mainland China,Hongkong,America,Australia,Thailand and Taiwan.

Over 15 years,I spent 8 years in prison for I’ve been put twice in jail,and the volunteers who’re fighting for our side have been suffering from different degrees of pressure from the authorities.As the human rights volunteers group, the cruel pressure is both the tribulation and the glory of the epoch for us.

In this particular moment,let me express my gratitude to Australian Qi’s Cultural Foundation and to various circles at home and aboard for your long-term support,our work could’ve not stay without being stuck together.

Humanitarian Affairs of Chinese Tianwang,Huang Qi
