mainland Chinese journalist Shi Tao may be rotting in prison thanks to having been ratted on by the US technology giant Yahoo, but his poetry is freely traveling the world through language and the internet thanks to the efforts of an international writers' group.
The International PEN writers group used the United Nations-designated World Press Freedom Day May 3 to call attention to the plight of Shi Tao, a journalist that Chinese authorities imprisoned for leaking state secrets.
