Sure, and they do that. The question was why you thought the article was worth including, and there could have been multiple answers, so I decided to ask. Perhaps you thought it was self evident, but that's often not as clear in a forums as people would like to think. As to your reason for inclusion, I don't really see the Guardian's representation all that biased, because I think the points you referenced are for the most part irrelevant. In this country, we're supposed to have a right to free speech. He was detained for months and prosecuted for his speech. What that speech was advocating isn't really the point. I do think it's useful information to have though, so thanks.
