Chinese authorities have arrested Nanjing resident Zhang Yuxiang for posting articles to the internet. The content of his articles is unspecified. Others in Zhang's position have been sentenced to seven years in prison, and Zhang himself has served time for helping to create the Chinese Democratic Federation. Quoting Liu Qing, president of the New York-based Human Rights in China: "Zhang Yuxiang is just the latest example of the Chinese government's relentless suppression of free expression and free exchange of informatiom."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
