Reporters Sans Frontieres hat eine garstige Chronik von Zensur
und Repression in der östlichen Hemisphäre des Netzes erstellt.
Wem dabei nicht wenigstens etwas schlecht wird, hat einen
Saumagen implantiert.

RSF has added to its web site an article entitled "Internet: a
Chronicle of Repression"
Since the adoption, during 2000, of three drastic laws on limiting
the circulation of information on the Web, Beijing authorities have
launched a wave of unprecedented repression against
cyberdissidents and Internet sites considered "subversive" or
"critical." The government, through the public security minister, has
formed, in about twenty provinces, special police brigades trained
in pursuing "subversive" Internet users.
A day before Moscow's decision concerning the attribution of the
2008 Olympics, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has posted an
article on its web site (www.rsf.org) entitled "Internet: a Chronicle of
Repression." It gives information on cyberdissidents arrested, web
sites censored and obstacles to the free circulation of information
by Chinese authorities. Updated daily, it features news obtained
from press agencies, international and Chinese human rights
organizations, international press and RSF correspondents.
Just like the print media and electronic media, the Web has
become a major issue for the Chinese regime, who wishes to have
full control of information. There are currently seventeen
cyberdissidents imprisoned in the country, for trying to break
through this Internet repression and censorship.
The campaign "In the name of Human's Rights, say NO to Beijing"
is also online at www.rsf.org.
Reporters Without Borders defends jailed journalists and press
freedom throughout the world, that is, the right to inform and be
informed, in accordance with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights. Reporters Without Borders has nine branches
(Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom), representatives in Abidjan,
Bangkok, Tokyo, Montreal and Washington, and about a hundred
correspondents worldwide.
