The AP is reporting, “A Chinese man was arrested for saying on the Internet that he planned to grab the Olympic torch during its relay through eastern China, police said Sunday. The 28-year-old man, identified only as Tang, was detained in Zhenjiang in Jiangsu province in eastern China for allegedly spreading rumors online and disturbing public order, said an official in the local public security bureau who would give only his surname, Zhang.
Tang was detained on May 7 and will be held for 10 days, Zhang said. Tang is accused of writing in an Internet chat room that he wanted to organize a group to grab the torch when it arrives in Nanjing, near Zhenjiang, on May 24, state media and police said.”

If you're going to defy authority, is it really a good idea to advertise your plans?

Big brother can go to hell and do the job he's supposed to do, protect the people of this nation without infringing upon my, or anyone else's, rights.

Damn that's scary. Pretty much everybody here at Current.com would be in a political prisoner camp for the discussions we've had here if the west used the same tactics.... I really hope that in the coming years Chinese people awake to the injustice of their situation and realize just how powerful they are. Tiananmen Square scared the shit out of the communist party cause they knew there was nothing they could do if the people stood strong. I also hope hackers around the world start to focus some energy on screwing with these guys any way they can...
