Wang Xianoning was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in 2003 for posting what Beijing claimed were subversive materials on the net. His wife, Yu Ling, flew into the US this week with the aim of suing Yahoo! for damages and forcing the net giant to apologise for the actions of its Hong Kong division, which passed on email account information that revealed her husband’s identity, the Voice of America reports.
Ling gave an interview with US government radio outlet Voice of America which will be broadcast to China via its Mandarin service.[Full Text]
