I boycott purchases from countries that are doing stupid stuff. Sadly, it is getting increasingly difficult to find countries that are even paying lip service to human rights.

Yeah, just shut this right down if any governments are singled out. Please concentrate on the plight of this particular photographer and the hazards for photojournalists worldwide. If people want to do something generally, Amnesty International gratefully accepts donations.

I wrote up a cheque and realized that they don't have an office here where I am..

I better not take too many photos too, least I also disappear.....

If I don't post here every few days, pls lodge a report here and with Amnesty international....

If worst comes to worst, Pinholecam, I'll bake a cake with a hacksaw blade in it and send it to you!

After the original article was posted, the Chinese government reportedly confirmed he was arrested. No info about the charges.

When pressed, I expect they will eventually cite "terrorism" and "state secrets".

That seems to be the standard refrain these days.
