Release of a "Web writer" urged by Journalist group
The Committee to Protect Journalists sent a letter to President Hu Jintao urging him to release, apparently, a blogger named Lou Yongzhong who writes for a web page called Secret China. I am unable to access the page due to the stupid firewall, but I'm assuming it's a blogger. Readers, please let me know if you could about the material currently on the web site if you could and send me an email of the content.


The blogosphere really should do what we can protect our own. The CPJ gives the address for protest letters as :

His Excellency Hu Jintao

President, People's Republic of China

C/o Embassy of the People's Republic of China

2300 Connecticut Ave., NW

Washington, D.C. 20008

Via facsimile: (202) 588-0032



Australians should use:

His Excellency Hu Jintao

President, People's Republic of China

C/o Embassy of the People's Republic of China

Coronation Drive Yarralumla, ACT

Canberra ACT 2600


Fax: (02) 62739615
