Strike at Newspaper in China Gathers Supporters



In a display of disapproval of censorship, hundreds of supporters of a strike at a newspaper in China gathered on Monday to protest.

These supporters join the journalists of the Southern Weekly newspaper displaying signs and placards that call for press freedom.

A call of reform was made in a New Year message by the Weekly but was changed by the provincial propaganda department.

Workers at the Weekly have since called for the resignation of the official at the provincial propaganda department that is accused of changing the message.
