Yahoo helps China Court to identify a culprit MIL/Agencies, Apr 20, 2006. Ed Sutherland Yahoo is getting popular all over the world like Google in the area of information technology. China is also making advance research and take full advantage of Yahoo. A recent verdict in a Chinese court case gives an indication that Yahoo has helped their police to identify the e-mail account of a dissident writer who was later sent to prison, according to Paris-based Reporters Without Borders. This is the third such incident which has involved Yahoo. "Little by little, we are piecing together the evidence for what we have long suspected, that Yahoo is implicated in the arrest of most people that we have been defending," according to a statement from Reporters Without Borders. The verdict, which was translated into English by the Dui Hua Foundation and obtained by Reporters Without Borders, indicates Hong Kong-based Yahoo Holdings helped identify an e-mail account containing pro-democracy statements made by Jiang Lijung, leader of a group of Internet dissidents. Outlining "physical and written evidence," the verdict described a "declaration" found in the draft folder of an e-mail account jointly owned by Lijung and fellow dissident Li Yibling. In the verdict, Chinese authorities said Lijung referred to China's hard-line regime as "autocratic" and wrote in favor of "western-style democracy." Supporting China's allegation Lijung sought to use violence to impose democracy, the verdict pointed to a plan to disrupt the 16th Communist Party Convention by phoning in a bomb threat.
