Today is an <A href="http://www.amnestyusa.org/">Amnesty International</A> rallying day for human rights.  I found out about it through a Facebook promotion: <A href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=37370045252">Bloggers Unite for Human Rights</A>.  The topic that I, as a blogger, would like to highlight is the continued censorship in China, particularly internet censorship.  The filtering, blocking, and state monitoring of ideas is offensive to me as a librarian, and if you feel the same way then you may want to read about <A href="http://www.amnestyusa.org/internet-censorship/yahoo-action-background/page.do?id=1011510&n1=3&n2=26&n3=1035">the imprisonment of Shi Tao, a Chinese journalist</A>.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/2008/05/chinese-censors.html"><P>Amnesty International provides an <A href="http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/c.jhKPIXPCIoE/b.2590179/siteapps/advocacy/ActionCenter.aspx">online action center</A> where you can express your opinion on human rights issues to government officials and other people in positions of power.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9F442AB1-2A81-483A-9B82-C9DAE3737248/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
