Snip from Guardian item:
The director of Chinese Independent PEN Centre's Writers in Prison Committee, Yu Zhang, has lodged a formal complaint against Yahoo for its alleged part in the conviction of Chinese journalist and poet Shi Tao. Together with Hong Kong legislator Albert Ho and Chinese lawyer Li Jianqiang, Mr Yu met briefly with the privacy commissioner for personal data, and filed a formal complaint against Yahoo Holdings Hong Kong.
Among the materials presented to the commissioner was a copy of the Changsha court verdict, which convicted Shi for revealing state secrets abroad last year. The charges relate to emails sent to news organisations based outside China containing a Chinese Communist Party memo concerning the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
