Not sure as to the authenticity of the link, but it sounds like par for the Chinese course...

Hoping that Dead replies (you out there?)

                 HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATION Amnesty International issued a
                 warning today on its Web site that Internet users in mainland China
                 could be killed by the State for expressing their opinion online.

                 Thirty three people were named as "prisoners of conscience" today, for
                 apparently doing little more than expressing their opinions online.

                 Two "subversives" have already died in custody, it claimed.

                 And the statement, which it released today, also warns that overseas
                 companies were colluding in a crack down we first reported last August.

LOL! Hey, I was wondering if they treat Hong Kong residents differently?
