Twitter is still blocked in China, however, there are more and more Chinese web-users are getting to know it and had the first tweet. So what’s twitter bringing us, especially for the mainland Chinese. Twitter provides a platform where you can say what you want and other people can hear your voice.
Though the web of twitter is only in English and Japanese now, it is very simple and to use it is very easy. There are many ways to update your message, via webs, clients, email, mobile devices which mostly provided by third party. So it makes the Chinese government impossible to stop their people twittering. I think twitter is a great product which is going to accelerate the process of democracy of China, though not everyone in twitter care about political issues that are not all parts of our life.
Now a lot of Chinese twitter uses are concerning about the condition of @amoiist (Guo baofeng) who was arrested illegally by the Mawei Police which claimed that Guo slandered the Mawei Gov in the internet. Guo’s twitter friends are making noise on twitter, such as “Guo Baofeng, your mother is calling you back home for dinner”, some sent the postcards to: Guo Baofeng, Cell 205, No.2 Detention House, Cangshan district, Fuzhou, Fujian, China 350018 (福州仓山区城门樟岚村下董自然村福州市第二看守所205仓郭宝锋收，邮编：350018), so as to tell the Mawei Police that the world is watching the case. Yesterday Guo’s sister(@guolihua)start to use twitter where she introduces the newest situation about her brother and makes way to get him free by legal approach.
I am enjoying using the twitter where I make my own opinion about what is happening in the world, share something interesting I just found, make new awesome friends. Twitter lets my voice can be heard by the world and feel the pulse of the world.

The blooger was arrested for rumor mongering. They accused the police of not only covering up the gang rape, but also commiting the gang rape.
While the autopsy showed Yan died of ectopic pregnancy, a leading cause of pregnancy.
Yes, according to this article the case is consistent with ectopic pregnancy, a leading cause of pregnancy related death:

Here’s the report on what the police investigation found:

And many people don’t realize removal of organ is standard autopsy procedure. Please Google “Rokitansky method” for details.
So what is the case for accusing police of covering up gang rape [committed by by elephants appearantly]? The victim’s folopian tube is torn from rape not from ectopic pregnancy? Who is the unnamed hospital personnel?
There’s absolutely no credible evidence to the allegation.

re: Charles Liu
Unfortunately with the CCP’s policy of non-release of accurate information and the publication of propoganda whether true or false people are invited by the situation to speculate or tell the truth and have it doubted. Until the CCP turn 180 degrees and believe in the integrety of truth people will give credence to what independent people publish in China no matter what the CCP propoganda is (or in some cases the CCP silence).
