-- "Adding the Holocaust to the curriculum would amount to 'marketing a lie and spreading it,' al-Astal wrote in a statement.:

-- "Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri also objected to including what he referred to as the 'so-called Holocaust' in the lesson plan. 'We think it's more important to teach Palestinians the crimes of the Israeli occupation,' he said."

-- NDTV reports:
-- "Zan Aizong is a well-known Chinese blogger who's sometimes critical of the Communist Party. In 2006, he was arrested and fired from his job as the Zhejiang bureau chief of the Chinese Ocean News for writing an article that exposed the forced demolition of a Christian church building."
-- "Well now the regime has labeled him a dissident—adding him to a secret media blacklist and shutting down his blog."
-- "The blacklist was created by China’s Propaganda Ministry. It contains the names of 247 so-called dissidents that Chinese media are now forbidden to interview or write about."
-- "Chinese news service Boxun.net reports that the media have been ordered to copy the blacklist by hand—making sure there's no electronic record."

Communist China: "Organ trafficking flourishes. The government tries to regulate it."
-- Asia News reports:
-- "The issue of organ transplants in China has two major problems. First of all organs transplanted are mostly taken from people condemned to death, often without their consent or without that of family members. Secondly, very often the transplants are carried out to supply foreigners who can pay handsomely for the organ and the operation, but penalizing the local people in need of a transplant. Until two years ago, the cost for a kidney transplant was 62 thousand dollars, for the heart it was 140 thousand U.S. dollars."
