BBC NEWS | Technology | US rebukes Yahoo over China case: "Urged by Mr Lantos to 'beg the forgiveness' of Shi Tao's mother, who was present at the hearing, both Mr Callahan and Mr Yang turned and nodded silently to her. Mr Lantos added: 'I do not believe America's brightest and best companies should be playing integral roles in China's notorious and brutal political repression apparatus.' Shi Tao was jailed for sending on to foreign websites an e-mail from the ruling Communist Party warning journalists not to cover the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in 2004."
