Bloggers being put in jail (all over the world)
In April, writer Nay Phone Latt won the 2010 PEN/Barbara Goldsmith “Freedom to Write” award. The award honors world renowned literary figures. (Figures who have been persecuted and imprisoned for defending “freedom of expression”) Unfortunately, Nay Phone Latt was not there to receive the award. The Burmese poet and human rights advocate was in Mynamar, serving a 12-year prison sentence for distributing news and views via his blog.
Iran is not the only country these events have been taking place in. Egypt has also imprisoned prominent bloggers. Saudi Arabia’s most popular blogger, Fouad al-Farhan, has been detained for questioning, an Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed. The Saudi government has waged an all-out battle against “Internet treason” for years. In Iraq, 33-year-old Dr. Hanan Al-Mashhadani was arrested, imprisoned and subjected to torture because of her writing on a blog. Her charges revolved around some comments she made about the countries “terrorism act.”
This happens all over the world on a daily basis. In November, Cuba’s most prominent blogger was abducted by three men. “This arrest was made after our investigations showed that he did certain things which could cause unrest among the citizens of various races in this country.” The evidence strongly suggests that the harassment and persecution of bloggers is increasing all over the world.
A Texas blogger was recently jailed for failing to turn his computer over to a judge. The bloggers
grandmother claims her house was broken into and her computer was seized after the courts received a subpoena. The blogger was eventually jailed. A freelance journalist and blogger was jailed in August in California for refusing to turn over video he took at an anti-capitalist protest last summer and after refusing to testify before a grand jury looking into accusations that crimes were committed at the protest.
The list goes on and on and on. In some countries now they just throw away the jail key. Totalitarian, Authoritarian governments will always try to censor the real news. Don’t let them. (Live like your free)

Can anyone say ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT??
On my BLOG I have restated many times the factual death of America as I knew it and I have also brought to light the death of freedom. I have no doubt there will be Bloggers going to jail in this country in the near future. The government for the people, by the people, and of the people, has been gone for a long time now and it will never return. As for our personal freedoms…kiss them goodbye also.

This is going to multiply number of punk citizen bloggers. You know this? The government isn’t the only one licensed to tell the truth. FIND YOUR COMPASS CITIZENS!! OPEN YOUR LAPTOPS AND REPORT!!
Now let’s see what’s the common denominator !!! Oh! Is it that they are from that so called religion of peace Islam. If any of these bloggers spoke out about Mohammed in one of these enlightened ,peaceful countries then you can count on a beheading. It is time that the world recognizes these cow tries for what they are, Women haters and beaters , non Islam religion haters and freedom of speech murderers.
