Chinese Dissidents Sue Yahoo!
| QUOTE |
| In a precedent-setting suit against Yahoo, a Chinese political prisoner and his wife are accusing the Internet company of assisting Chinese authorities identify political dissidents who were later tortured and jailed, reports the New York Times. The defendants, Wang Xiaoning, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for distributing articles on Democratic reform, and his wife, Yu Ling - along with other defendants - are attempting to seek an injunction barring Yahoo from identifying dissidents to Chinese authorities. "I hope to be able to have Yahoo promise that in the future they will stop this kind of wrongdoing," said Ms. Yu, speaking through an interpreter in a telephone interview from San Francisco. |
