[WSIS CS-Plenary] Amnesty launches "Irreppressible" campaign against online censorship

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Thanks Rik for giving us the opportunity to sign the pledge and to express our solidarity with Shi Tao. 
This demonstrates once more the role of Yahoo, Cisco and other Internet groups against human rights. 
best regards
Jean-Louis Fullsack

> Amnesty International has launched a new campaign in support of freedom of speech online and offline at the website http://www.irrepressible.info . About the campaign:
> 
> Irrepressible Adj. 1) Impossible to repress or control.
> 
> Chat rooms monitored. Blogs deleted. Websites blocked. Search engines restricted. People imprisoned for simply posting and sharing information.
> 
> The Internet is a new frontier in the struggle for human rights. Governments – with the help of some of the biggest IT companies in the world – are cracking down on freedom of expression.
> 
> Amnesty International, with the support of The Observer, is launching a campaign to show that online or offline the human voice and human rights are impossible to repress.
> 
> * Sign our pledge on Internet freedom to call on all governments and companies to ensure the Internet is a force for political freedom, not repression.
> 
> * Take action to free Shi Tao. Write to the Chinese authorities and Yahoo to urge the release of journalist Shi Tao, serving 10 years in prison for sending an email to a pro-democracy website.
> 
> * Undermine censorship by publishing irrepressible fragments of censored material on your own site. The more people take part, the more we can defeat unwarranted censorship and create an unstoppable network of protest.
> 
> See http://www.irrepressible.info for all the details.
