Civil Rights Law Blogs to Face “Eviction”

Ni Wanhua 倪文华 is famous for defending the rights of victims of unlawful evictions.  Yesterday, Ni and several other lawyers, including Zhang Hua 张华 and Tan Yuzhen 唐玉珍, suddenly discovered that they had become victims of “forced eviction”.  Ni, Zhang and Tan had all received notices from Internet service providers that hosted their law blogs, informing them that their blogs would be taken down.  The “eviction notices” were delivered either by phone or by emails.  This development came as a surprise for those who were affected.  They have all expressed concerns about the consequences of such ill-conceived action.

The Chinese Communist Party’s Anti-Pajama Campaign

From the same Communist Party that brought you the worst famine in all of world history, and religious genocides in Tibet and Xinjiang.  According to the Telegraph:

The neighbourhood committee – a volunteer outpost of the Communist Party – in the city’s north-eastern district of Rixin has decided that wearing pyjamas in the street should be discouraged.

“We’re telling people not to wear pyjamas in the street because it looks very uncivilised,” Guo Xilin, a local official, was quoted in local media as saying.
