Cisco and Abuses of Human Rights in China: Part 1

http://j.mp/qpeSf7  (EFF)

    "That Cisco Systems "aggressively sought contracts to provide
     substantial assistance in helping the Chinese government
     implement the Golden Shield Project" -- That Cisco knew its
     services and products would be used by Chinese law enforcement,
     prisons, forced labor camps and also to police Internet usage --
     That Cisco employees themselves customized or trained others to
     customize the equipment they sold to China to meet the unique
     goals of the Golden Shield Project, including targeting
     disfavored groups in China -- That Cisco knew the Golden Shield
     Project would be used to commit human rights violations."
