Chinese man 'jailed due to Yahoo'
BBC News
February 9, 2006
The internet giant Yahoo has been accused of providing China with information that led to the jailing of a second internet writer.
Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders claims that Yahoo released data which led to the arrest of Li Zhi.
The online writer was jailed for eight years in 2003, after posting comments that criticised official corruption.
Last year Yahoo was accused of giving information to Beijing which led to the imprisonment of reporter Shi Tao.
Reporters Without Borders called on Yahoo to release the names of all internet writers whose identities it has revealed to the Chinese authorities.

being in China at the present time, I will avoid publishing my name to perhaps avoid doing time in Jail... the posted article is very interesting but bbc.com is unaccessible from here, so the rest of the article is unfortunately off limits for me. I wonder why?
