On February 22, 2006, just ten days after he was appointed Northeast Asia editor for Global Voices, my colleague Hao Wu was detained by the Chinese government. To date he has not been charged with a crime.
Hao is a documentary filmmaker and blogger, and Global Voices has set up a Free Hao Wu web site which provides background information on Hao and his detention. Please visit the site and check in frequently, as information will be added as it becomes available. Please also spread the word by linking to the Free Hao Wu site on your own blogs and web sites. And please keep Hao in your thoughts and prayers.
