Changing my diary to what I originally wanted to post (still work in progress).
Human Rights USA files lawsuit against Yahoo! Inc. and its subsidiaries for the U.S. internet company's complicity in human rights abuses and acts of torture in China.
Wang Xiaoning, 57, and Yu Ling, 55, of Beijing, charge that Wang was arrested in 2002 after a subsidiary of Sunnyvale-based Yahoo gave Chinese police information linking him to e-mails he used to publish articles calling for democratic reforms.
Wang was convicted in 2003 of incitement to subvert state power and sentenced to 10 years in a forced labor prison, the lawsuit says.
The suit claims he was tortured and beaten in an effort to make him confess to "anti-state" activities while he was held in the Beijing State Security Bureau Detention Center from September 2002 until May 2004.
It seeks financial compensation, punitive damages and a requirement that Yahoo and its subsidiaries take action to secure the dissidents' release.
We know about the China-Darfur Connection
and that organizations are trying to put the pressue on the Chinese and do not forget that the world has not forgotten Tibet
What scares China? The Olympics do.
