Hao Wu Released!
Wonderful news coming out of China today. The family of blogger Hao Wu reports that he has been released by the authorities after several months of detention. The entry is written in Chinese, but here's a rough translation:
Just received a phone call from home. Hao is released from detention. Thanks for everybody's concerns but Hao wants to be alone and calm down for a while. Anything new about this matter would be updated on this blog.
This news is a huge relief to his family, friends and all the bloggers around the world who rallied in support of him, particularly his colleagues at Global Voices. He was originally detained in February after shooting documentary footage of a secret Christian group in China, and was held until today. More information is available on the Free Hao Wu blog set up by Ethan Zuckerman. -andy
