Don’t Forget My Husband, China Dissident’s Wife Says - kerala
From keralanext.com:
The health of an ethnic Mongolian Chinese political prisoner has seriously deteriorated, his wife said on Monday, pleading with the outside world not to forget her husband and keep pressuring Beijing.
Hada was tried behind closed doors in China’s northern Inner Mongolia region in 1996 and sentenced to 15 years in jail for separatism and spying and his support for the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance, which sought greater rights for ethnic Mongolians.
“He is not being treated well. He is ill and had aged and weakened visibly the last time I saw him,” Hada’s wife Xinna told Reuters in an interview in the Inner Mongolian city of Hohhot on the day restrictions on foreign journalists’ travel were eased.[Full Text]

I am inquiring of the possibility that you would consider helping with the campaign to subvert the Chinese Ministry of Information’s efforts to censor Internet usage inside China proper. Presently, those websites containing phrases such as “free Chinese political prisoners” or “this website is democracy friendly” are inaccessible to Chinese web surfers. This is fine as far as the Chinese government is concerned, as such websites are few in number and limited to the types of websites they wish to censor anyway.(such as yours)Our goal however is to take away China’s access to a large swath of the Internet by convincing large numbers of website administrators to post disclaimers similar to this one, thus rendering their sites inaccessible to all Chinese
citizens:
“This website is democracy friendly, and by virtue of the words contained herein, inaccessible to searches conducted in China, North Korea and Iran.”
Please let me know your thoughts on this matter, and go to
