The cause: Human rights defenders are persecuted by Chinese Authorities for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression, association and information.
e.g. Journalist and poet Shi Tao serving a 10 year prison sentence for sending an email with information about the Chinese government's instructions to journalists on how to cover 15th anniversary of the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square.
