昨日參與劉曉波專家會診的德國及美國專家Markus W Büchler及Joseph M.Herman回覆《眾新聞》查詢時發表聯合聲明，表示劉曉波家屬要求劉在德國或美國完成餘下治療，雖然任何醫療運輸有一定風險，但兩人均相信劉曉波可在適當照顧下安全移送海外就醫，「但該醫療運送必須愈快愈好」（ the medical evacuation would have to take place as quickly as possible）。
此說法與瀋陽中國醫科大學附屬第一醫院有明顯出入，後者甚至可能錯誤引述。瀋陽一院昨日在專家會診後在網頁公布稱，有中方專家問兩人「患者轉運過程不安全，你們還有什麼治療辦法可以做得更好？」院方引述兩名海外專家說：「我們也沒有更好的辦法了，你們已經做得非常好。」
兩名海外專家又表示，所屬的德國海德堡大學及美國安德森癌症中心，「已經同意接收劉曉波，準備為劉曉波提供最佳治療」。他們又表示，確認劉曉波在瀋陽一院的醫療質素，並建議劉曉波接受舒緩治療。
由劉曉波朋友組成的「自由劉曉波工作組」今天表示，兩名海外專家聲明粉碎了官方說劉曉波出國治療不安全的說法，他們緊急呼籲中國政府本著人道主義接受兩名海外專家意見，讓劉曉波、劉霞及其親屬迅速安排出國治療。工作組指出，「劉曉波危在旦夕，請還他自由選擇出國的權利，任何對此的拖延和阻撓都是對他的慢性謀殺！」
劉曉波朋友、目前旅居德國作家廖亦武也接獲德國政府中間人回覆說，德國總理默克爾已盡全力，由數日前參觀熊貓到G20峰會期間，每天都向國家主席習近平提劉曉波，及表示德國更適合劉曉波治療。廖亦武預計，「下周（劉曉波能否出國）會有最終結果，因為習近平答應回國後，進一步了解情況，和相關部門協商」。
Markus W Büchler及Joseph M.Herman聲明全文
Joint Statement from Dr. Joseph M. Herman, Clinical Research Director, Department of Radiation Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Dr. Markus Büchler, Chairman, Department of Surgery, University of Heidelberg
On Saturday, July 8, Dr. Joseph M. Herman of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Dr. Markus W Büchler of University of Heidelberg met with the medical team at the No. 1 Hospital of the China Medical University to participate in a medical consultation for Liu Xiaobo and provide their professional recommendations.
Drs. Herman and Büchler acknowledge the quality of care that the No. 1 Hospital of the China Medical University has provided to Mr. Liu since his admission. Drs. Herman and Büchler agree with Mr. Liu’s diagnosis of primary liver cancer. The physicians have recommended Mr. Liu receive palliative supportive care. Additional options may exist, including interventional procedures and radiotherapy.
Liu Xiaobo and his family have requested that the remainder of his care be provided in Germany or the United States. While a degree of risk always exists in the movement of any patient, both physicians believe Mr. Liu can be safely transported with appropriate medical evacuation care and support. However, the medical evacuation would have to take place as quickly as possible.
The University of Heidelberg and MD Anderson have each agreed to accept Mr. Liu for treatment. Both institutions are prepared to offer Mr. Liu the best care possible.
