Blogger Persecution Hall of Shame: Governments silence bloggers with imprisonment, torture

Tyrants fear the blogosphere, and they strike back with savagery:

• Iran Official Policy: “Torture the Blogger”
  (for opposing the regime)
• Chinese blogger sentenced to three years in prison
  (for insulting socialism)
• Hong Kong: Blogger faces 12 months or $HK400K for linking
  (to nude art as a protest)
• Kazakh blogger sentenced for insulting president
  (accusing him of involvement in murder)
• Egyptian blogger Abdel Kareem Nabil sentenced
  (to four years in prison for insulting Islam; see what you can do to help!)
• More Evidence Emerges on Yahoo!’s Role in Chinese Internet Cases
  (blogger sentenced to ten years in prison)
• Jerry Yang, Yahoo, summoned to DC
  (to be questioned by House Foreign Affairs Committee)
• Cubans go to unusual lengths to post blogs
  (to get around government censorship)
