Bloggers Behind Bars

Global Voices, defenders of free speech online, have launched a new tool called Threatened Voices that lets you look up where bloggers have been arrested or threatened by their governments. China, Iran, and Egypt look particularly bad. And here in the States, Elliott Madison was arresed for using Twitter to help G20 protesters evade the cops.

    Ideally there should be a resource for those threatened by bloggers or their associates. My colleague and I operating as a social enterprise in Ukraine have been harassed by a blog based smear campaign for the last 3 years since speaking out about corruption and neglect in the care of disabled children in Ukraine.http://eng.maidanua.org/node/581  We know the identity of the blogger on p-ced.blogspot.com but are prevented from naming him by a UK barrister who threatened litigation against us for publishing her client’s personal information.  It turns out that the barrister is his sister. Meanwhile our efforts have achieved some progress as I describe with links to our progress in Ukraine.http://people-centered.net/About.aspx
