Hu Jia Update: What would you be willing to sacrifice for free speech?
On 05 January, I wrote here that Chinese authorities arrested human rights activist Hu Jia, who is serving a three and a half sentence in a Beijing jail for sedition. In 2005 Hu was beaten by Chinese authorities.
Last month European Union Officials were prevented from visiting
Hu's wife Zeng, who lives with her infant daughter pictured and continues to Blog about human rights abuses in China.
Zeng Jingyan blog post in Chinese in English when EU Officials attempted to visit her.
Freedom of speech, taken for granted in the United States cherished around the world. Would we be willing to make the sacrifices that these brave people do ?
