Amnesty International and The Observer move to protest against censorship and human rights violations online.
The stimulus is the case of Shi Tao, a Chinese journalist recently sentenced to 10 years hard labour for using the internet to inform people that newspapers were being censored in their coverage of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Yahoo! gave information to the authorities that was used in evidence for his conviction. The campaign site features a neat little ‘fragment’ of suppressed information for bloggers and others to spread virally.
Here’s ours.
And for those who want to register their voice, there is the usual online pledge.
