Otherwise, news from the front :

Hu Jia is still detained, has been for 3 months.
Yang Maodong, a chinese cyber-dissident but also Human rights lawyer, has been on a hunger strike for the past 11 weeks now. Obviously, we are getting worried. (http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=25932)

We feel that these two cases remain important but also symbolic of the PRC's disrespect for human rights. In the light of the coming olympics, such situations remain unacceptable. At best.
