So he was jailed for 10 years because he had something to say about press restrictions. Give me a break.

Yeah, but they have GIG fiber links and are so far ahead of the US broadband industry as we see reported time and time again here on DSLR.

Ahhah! So by having "GIG fiber links and are so far ahead of the US broadband industry" makes jailing someone for 10 years for speaking freely OK? I fail to see your point....

I'm assuming he was being sarcastic, but I can't be sure...

That's the clincher. He wasn't speaking freely. Speaking freely isn't allowed in a communist country.

He violated that countries laws, plain and simple.

This has nothing to do with free speech, or free journalism, or any freedom whatsoever. They don't allow it.
