China: More foreigners protest, aided by 2.0 tools'
by John Kennedy

One (possibly) last protest post before we get back on topic around here; first
is the pseudo-guerrilla Exodus 8:1 mission of Christian activist Eddie
'iamgadfly' Romero for human rights in China which has seem him paint murals on
the walls of at least 2 rooms in upscale Beijing hotels and then go into
hiding. He is still tweeting, however, and uploading videos to YouTube.



And today, a protest held by a group of American Free Tibet activists has been
streamed live on Qik.com by intrepid citizen reporter @noneck; further footage
is being uploaded as this is being posted:



Most recent tweet from @noneck (aka Noel Hidalgo) came less than an hour ago;
the video he mentions appears to be this clip:
I'm qik'n an awesome video of a protest i saw in t sq. The frosting came from a
cbc camera man who got his passport stolen by police

Lhadon Tethong from Students for a Free Tibet did something similar this time
last year when she also went 'underground', hiding from Chinese authorities as
she continued to livevlog her quest to get IOC president Jacques Rogge's
attention.
