Email Trial In China Begins
Links Awake writes: "Ireland.com reports that the trial of Wang Jimbo has started in China. He is accused of "inciting the perversion of state power" through his emails criticising the Chinese Govts Human Rights abuses in Tiananman Square amongst others. This is part of the Chinese Govts attempt to restrict the freeflow of information from the Internet"
$5 on "guilty" please.
He was arrested in May and three months later was charged with "inciting the subversion of state power", the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy in Hong Kong said.
Human rights? Democracy?
This is China we're talking about here?

I'd prefer to see them going after the Chinese spammers that clog e-mail servers worldwide.
He should be shot and the Chinese government should bill his family for the bullet. He is evil and needs to be promptly destroyed.
Why it's important if the chinese gov do something against freedom?
Lot's of govs do far more evil things and you only cry about china, this make me think that or you are managed by EEUU gov, or u are all brainwashed.
Want examples:
unemployment, starvation, IMF, and all kind of bad things made by EEUU, of course you dont feel it, you live in a Beverly Hills 90210 paradise.
Follow that path, chinese people needs more freedom, instead of being slaves of chinese gov, they'll be slave of USA.
Hrm, I know this sounds aweful, but /maybe/ Mr. Jimbo could have phrased his riot-inducing email somewhat better...
