Retweeting: it's srs bsns:
A retweeted joke has landed a Chinese woman in a labor camp for a year, Amnesty International reported Wednesday.On the day of her wedding, Oct. 27, Chinese online activist Cheng Jianping disappeared. Only this week did her whereabouts surface: She had been detained and sentenced by police to a year of "re-education through labor" for retweeting a suggestion that Chinese youth attack the Japanese Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo.
The BBC comments that "Ms Cheng may also have been targeted because she is a local human rights activist."
Gee, ya think?
