Categories: East Asia, Taiwan (ROC), Freedom of Speech, Human Rights, Media & Journalism, Protest

The National News Agency-Central News Agency of Taiwan is suspected to censor related news about China's Jasmine Revolution yesterday. Jou Ying-Cheng, blogger and former reporter of CNA, accused CNA for not syndicating the second and further interview with Tan Lan-Yin(談蘭英)’ son due to political sensitivity [1], and such news blocking has happened before when he was working for CNA.  Tan is a famous petitioner in Shanghai, and her missing might be related to China's Jasmine revolution.
