The postponed appeal hearing of the jailed editor of a popular newspaper opened yesterday in southern China, in a case that has been linked to the reform tendencies of the country's new communist leaders.

Yu Huafeng, former vice chief editor of the Southern Metropolitan Daily, was sentenced in March to 12 years in prison for corruption related to the routine distribution of bonuses at the paper.

His case has, however, been widely linked to anger by the central government over the paper's reports last year on the government-led cover up of the SARS outbreak.

I heard the real reason Yu has been sent to prison was he gave Jackie 'Whore' Chan's new movie, Around the World in 80 Days, a BOYCOTT rating.

The Bush Crime Family is proud to be in partnership with Communist Murderers who falsely convict its citizens, execute them and then sell their body organs! A toast to GOP Christian Morality!
