Zeng Jinyan Seeks Ways around Firewall

Zeng Jinyan (曾金燕), her daughter Baobao, and her mother in law had the regular monthly meeting with Ms Zeng’s husband Hu Jia (胡佳) on Wednesday afternoon (local time in Beijing). Hu Jia’s viral load has increased substantially, writes Zeng Jinyan – her husband suffers from hepatitis b. When the prison staff noticed the load rise’s effects, they took Mr Hu to the prison’s hospital. Hu Jia caught a cold more than two months ago and hasn’t been able to shrug it off so far.  Conditions in prison don’t offer the basic conditions needed for the recovery of a hepatitis patient, notes Ms Zeng, and adds that September 26 marked halftime of her husband’s prison term.

Zeng Jinyan’s Wednesday blog post with the information above consists of messages from Seesmic or Twitter . Ms Zeng recently had difficulties with getting over the Great Firewall and reaching websites censored by the Chinese authorities. Obviously, this included problems with accessing her own blog, too. She found ways around the internet blockade on Wednesday.
