Stumbled across it while browsing the site of my local newspaper. http://update.journalstar.com/stories/7 Chinese man jailed for posting Internet messages The Associated Press BEIJING -- A businessman was sentenced to three years in prison for posting articles critical of Chinese leaders and the ruling Communist Party on the Internet, according to a government newspaper report. Liu Weifang, 40, was convicted last week of incitement to subversion by a court in the Turkic Muslim Xinjiang region, the Xinjiang Daily reported. [...] A corps of computer police monitor the Internet for talk regarded as subversive and block Web sites viewed as hostile. Internet service providers have been told they must remove all anti-government material or be held accountable. -Andy Ringsmuth ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
