Chinese Arrest Activists, Obviously
By Roadjunky, Posted Aug 23, 2008
Activists from Aliveinbaghdad.org and graffitiresearchlab.com detained for ‘disturbing public order’.
Alive in Baghdad and the Graffiti Research Lab are both considered pretty cool by Road Junky and activists were arrested by the Chinese police state for ‘disturbing public order’ and sentenced to 10 days in jail.
Naturally, China can’t do anything that nasty to Western prisoners, especially not during the Olympics so they’ll probably just be deported when the 10 days are up.
