"Question No 6 by Frank Vanhecke ()
On 25 September 2005 rules were issued by the Chinese Ministry of Information regarding the dissemination of information via the Internet. Information supplied via the Internet must not incite illegal assembly, membership of illegal associations or participation in illegal demonstrations that disturb social order.
The new rules are targeted both at websites and email. They seek to prevent any information (news, commentary) that has not first been examined and filtered by the regime from being distributed. Internet portals have an obligation to take all of their news and commentary direct from official news sources. As for email, all private groups or individuals must first register as a 'news organisation'. Only then may they distribute news or news analysis.
Even before the new rules were issued, Zheng Yichun was sentenced on 22 September 2005 to seven years' imprisonment for calling, via the Internet, for political reform.
How does the Council intend to raise the matter of this new fundamental breach by the Chinese Government of the right to freedom of expression? Will the Council be raising, in this connection, the case of Zheng Yichun and insisting that he is released?"@en1
