press picture for video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVF5dvL71B4 Chinese execution video.(in real life they don't get away and their body parts are removed immediately for sale.)Chinese blogger and filmmaker Hao Wu isn't making public statements about the 140 days he spent imprisoned in China. Wu, a Chinese citizen with US permanent residency, was released from prison July 11 after an international campaign by Wu's sister, his fellow bloggers and human rights activists. Chinese security services officials did not disclose the reasons for Wu's arrest or the conditions of his release.
Wu's associates believe that the government was interested in his tapes and notes for a documentary he was making about China's underground Christian churches. They say those materials were taken from his Beijing apartment shortly after his arrest.
Wu's reticence is understandable. Reporters Without Borders' press freedom report on China paints a dire picture of the state of free speech and thought in the world's most populous nation. According to RSF, in an effort to contain "growing social unrest, the government has chosen to impose a news blackout. The press has been forced into self-censorship, the Internet purged and foreign media kept at a distance."
RSF says about 50 reporters are currently imprisoned for writing about subjects the government has deemed sensitive. The latest is Zan Aizong, 37, a reporter for a government-controlled newspaper, who was jailed August 1 after he posted reports on the Internet about Chinese Christians who had been arrested after a peaceful protest.
CHINA has reverted to public executions on the eve of the Olympics as part of a massive security operation mounted to protect the Beijing Games from what Communist Party authorities describe as an urgent threat of violence and anti-government protest.
The Washington Post reported at the weekend that three young men were shot shortly after dawn in the city of Yengishahar in Xinjiang - the mainly Muslim region of northwestern China. "The local government bused several thousand students and office workers into a public square and lined them up in front of a vocational school," the Post reported. "As the spectators watched, witnesses said, three prisoners were brought out. "Then an execution squad fired rifles at the three point-blank, killing them on the spot."
