Amnesty Intl. Sees Red over Yahoo China – Bruce Einhorn

From The BusinessWeek Online (link): The human rights group is calling for the Internet company to be more socially responsible in China, but others say the Web giant is doing a lot of good

Amnesty International is turning up the pressure on Yahoo! (YHOO) to change directions in China. Amnesty International USA, the American branch of the international human rights group, is sending an official to Yahoo’s annual shareholder meeting on May 25 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley. Anthony Cruz, the San Francisco-based Amnesty official who plans to speak at the meeting, intends to use the meeting as a platform to demand action from Yahoo executives. “We’re calling on them to take a stand against China,” says Cruz.
