…from the PRC
I just read this on Washpost: China Releases 3 Internet Writers, but Convicts 1 Other.

The story begins:

BEIJING, Nov. 30 — China released three Internet essayists who were detained a year ago for criticizing the government, including a college student in Beijing whose arrest on subversion charges had attracted international attention, a human rights group based in Hong Kong reported Sunday.

The story dwells on Liu Di, a.k.a. “Stainless Steel Mouse,” because she was evidently hip to the counter culture thaang. She was mercifully released.

The same day, a court convicted a fourth writer charged in the case, Jiang Lijun, of subversion and sentenced him to four years in prison, his lawyer said.

The story says nothing else about this Jiang. It hypes Liu.

Repression.

I was asked to and I joined Bloggers for Iran, another repressive state, so there we’ll be watching that theocratic lockbox.

UPDATE: I found THIS on Jiang. He’s evidently an associate of Steel Mouse, but he was convicted but the mass appeal of the West freed Liu. I’m happy for her, but I don’t like the idea of Jiang spending four years in the Lao Gai.
