Intellectuals Condemn Closure of Website
More than 100 Chinese intellectuals have condemned the country's propaganda authorities for closing down a website they described as "the last oasis of knowledge on China's internet".
In the latest act of resistance against the communist government's crackdown on debate, the lawyers, authors and journalists issued a statement opposing the shutdown of Century China.
The website, which was set up by a Hong Kong university and a Beijing research institute, had a reputation for liberalism.
Its discussion forum had more than 30,000 registered members.
