FT: Yahoo admits role in China dissident case

"Jerry Yang, Yahoo co-founder, has confirmed that the US internet portal assisted Chinese authorities' action against a local journalist jailed for leaking state secrets, but said it had no choice."

"Yahoo's has been criticised by media freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders for its role in the case against Shi Tao, a Chinese reporter jailed for 10 years in April apparently for revealing information about a crackdown by Communist party propaganda officials."
