In China, if you have a complaint about a corrupt official, or if you have been badly treated by the police, it is hard to get your voice heard.
They took me to the ward and tied me to the bed... Then they ground down the pills and forced the powder into my mouth with a syringe
Sun Fa Wu, 57In Shandong province, a small group of people claim they were locked up in a mental institution against their will after they dared to complain about the way the authorities treated them.
They now have the satisfaction of knowing their claims are being discussed on internet bulletin boards throughout the country.

For how long though? Sensor ship of the Internet is not only a big debate for China any longer, North America is on its way to censor the internet. Human Rights are being disregarded world wide even in western Countries such as the US or GB, Guatanamo Bay is a prime example as well as anti terror laws...
