This incredible metal sculpture is called The Empty Chair, by Maarten Baas. He made the symbolic empty chair, to support Amnesty in their fight for freedom of expression. Interesting story behind it: Dr. Liu Xiaobo was convicted for his role in drafting Charter 08, a proposal for legal and political reform in China. Liu Xiaobo was the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, but during the cermony his chair remained empty, as he was sentenced to a 11 years imprisonment. The empty chair is a symbol for Liu and many others whore in jail for expressing their opinion.
