Prior to a UN meeting on governance of the internet next week, Amnesty International is seeking signatures for a petition calling for repressive regimes to free the bloggers they have imprisoned.
Today's Independent splashed on the campaign.
The paper features four "martyrs of the web" on its front page, including Shi Tao, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison after emailing details of the Chinese government's 2004 plans to try and control news coverage of the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
