media - Journalist Zhao Yan arrested

The outspoken journalist Zhao Yan has been arrested in Shanghai, reports the China Digital News, based on an article in the unlinkable South China Morning Post. Zhao got into problems when a book he wrote on the farmers' rights that first got praized and then was banned.
People who are familiar with the case "found it difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for his detention - 'He has written so many articles that have upset the authorities,' one said - but they hoped the new leadership would continue to operate in an open and sympathetic way."
Zhao arrest is part of a set of incidents over the past weeks, where the government is cracking down on media freedom. China Digital News gives a short overview.
