After two weeks of being absolutely unable to, I risked angering a friend by being a tad late to his wedding (really sorry B!) in order to very briefly attend the RPK vigil in the rain last night and get some t-shirts for a friend.
It was good to see the gang again though – so brave and defiant, even in the rain. There’s a longer entry by Rakyat@Work over at Anil’s.
Keeping the flame burning can be a challenge, when there seems to be less and less on the horizon politically to look forward to. But keep it burning we will – there is no question, no chance, no possibility of us ever letting that flame die.
I thought I would take the opportunity to remember some other bloggers facing prosecution around the world.
Egypt seems to be facing a crackdown with two most recent arrests, China’s detained blogger Hu Jia receives a human rights prize (yay Europe), and Jonathan Elendu is thankfully released from a Nigerian jail.
Let’s stay watchful, and united in our efforts to uphold liberty.

What happen to Pakatan Rakyat/DSAI’s talk of taking over the Federal Govt?? RPK risked going to jail coz he believed that will happen and at most he will only stay 2 weeks in jail… what happened???? DSAI owes Marina an apology and the rest of us an explanation!
