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"
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?

Those aren't criminals, they're government employees that are spamming. Wait until they discover DDoS.
Hrm, I know this sounds aweful, but /maybe/ Mr. Jimbo could have phrased his riot-inducing email somewhat better...
