“Iran said it had launched a domestically made satellite-carrier rocket carrying live animals — a move that may increase Western concern that Tehran is trying to build a nuclear bomb. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [previously] said that Iran was ready to send its enriched uranium abroad in what appeared to be an easing of its position in the nuclear dispute. He [further] said the satellite launch was a huge breakthrough which help break “the global domineering system” — a reference to Iran’s Western foes. The Islamic Republic hoped to send astronauts into space soon, he said, speaking at a ceremony unveiling new satellite and space technology”Technology
“US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for an unfettered worldwide Internet and urged global condemnation of those who conduct cyber attacks, as China sought to contain tension with the United States over the hacking and censorship of Google. ’A new information curtain is descending across much of the world,’ she said, calling growing Internet curbs the modern equivalent of the Berlin Wall. ‘We stand for a single Internet where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas,’ said Clinton in a major address that cited China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt among countries that censored the Internet or harassed bloggers.’ Countries that built electronic barriers to parts of the Internet or filtered search engine results contravened the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which guarantees freedom of information, she said” (1 votes, average: 5.00)

It is still repression, not development, that keeps Tibet stable
“On the corner of Ramoche Temple Road, a bustling alley where the ethnic violence that engulfed Lhasa nearly two years ago first broke out, finishing touches are being put to a fried-chicken fast-food restaurant. Opposite, a newly opened second-floor café offers coffee, sandwiches and well-cushioned seating. On the street below, five helmeted riot police—one of them with a rifle—stand rigid and vigilant. Hard as it tries to look normal, Lhasa cannot quite pull it off”
