Chinese journalist wins press freedom award

Yay for Shi Tao!


At least some good came of this whole issue. It's kind of ridiculous how the Chinese government claimed that "that the Chinese constitution protected press freedom." Haha. Hahaha. Good one.

We are not impressed by this argument," Brock said. "Such freedoms do not exist in China today. If they did, Shi Tao would not be in prison, nor would dozens of others."

-George Brock, World Editors Forum (WEF) president

Apparently "the WAN (World Association of Newspapers) and WEF would start a public campaign pressing for Shi's release." =)

He's already served two years--let's get him out of there ASAP.
