The group Reporters Without Borders has organized what it is
calling a 24-hour "Online Internet Protest" to draw attention to
Internet censorship in countries such as China, Cuba, Egypt, Iran
and North Korea. The case of Chinese journalist Shi Tao is a
cautionary tale for Internet users around the world. Last year, the
Chinese government sentenced him to 10 years in jail for sending a

"We have, of course, North Korea, where there's no Internet,” she
added. “We have Cuba, where Fidel Castro has been making sure
that most of the people cannot have access to the Internet. We also
have countries such as China, which is the biggest prison for cyber-
dissidents, and a champion in terms of Internet censorship. A lot of
technology has been put together to make sure about Tiananmen,
or Falun Gong, or human rights, democracy, is being censored."

The campaign also targets the Internet company, Yahoo!, which
has been accused of providing information to the Chinese
government that led to the arrest of Shi Tao. Visitors to the website
can record messages for the Yahoo! founders.

on billboards displayed on trucks and bikes that circled the city and
handed out fliers. Also the group is launching an Arabic-language

Spanish.
