Hong Kong: The Iranian opposition, standing up against the authoritarian regime in Teheran, found support on Monday from an unlikely quarter: Chinese people, who themselves face strict censorship and restrictions on political freedom.
Chinese Internet users overcame the government's online roadblocks to voice support for protesters in Iran and criticise their own government's clampdowns. Although social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are blocked in China, many surfers evidently got around the barriers to post messages of support for the protesters.
