what kind of olympic legacy will china leave behind...

one country currently holds the largest recorded number of imprisoned journalists and cyber-dissidents in the world...

forgetting the blog entry title for a moment care to guess which country this is?

well, despite this disgraceful record, china will be hosting the 2008 olympic world games – an event whose charter places the preservation of human dignity at the heart of its existence...

peaceful dissidents who have exercised their rights to free expression remain locked up under ill-defined charges and senseless prison terms...one chinese journalist, shi tao, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for sending an email...

peace out <3
