While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

Democracy activist vanishes after being arrested for using internet
Original source
"The internet is booming in Vietnam. Online cafes can be found in even the smallest towns. It has given a big boost to the country's small dissident movement - allowing them to communicate with each other and with supporters abroad. In response, the security forces have blocked access to certain websites and targeted dissidents using the net. Over the past few months a number of activists have been detained and their computers searched and confiscated. One, Trong Quoc Huy, has not been heard of since he was arrested in mid-August by plain-clothes police while sitting in an internet cafe. Another, Nguyen Vu Binh, a journalist, was detained four years ago for passing information through the internet to overseas Vietnamese groups."
