Dear Friend,

China moves against advocate seeking school collapse answers
Chinese authorities have detained Huang Qi, a vocal advocate for parents of children lost in the May earthquake, on suspicion of possessing state secrets. Huang used his Web site as a platform to highlight parents' demands for investigations into shoddy construction of school buildings before his arrest.

And last but not least, here's a personal note from George Kent (kent at hawaii.edu):

Considering the need for a clear right to safe school buildings, perhaps Radix could find a way to speak out on this situation in China. Perhaps Radix could voice Huang Qi's concerns to a global audience?

Aloha, George
