Hi,

I've just started a PhD looking at how information security effects human rights. My interest was sparked by the issue 
of the Chinese journalist Shi Tao, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for "providing state secrets to foreign 
entities". His crime was to send an email message detailing a censorship order by the Chinese authorities from a 
supposedly anonymous Yahoo! Hong Kong account. There are many other similar cases.
