I share with you the Global Voices Advocacy Summit help today on 26th June 2008 at Budapest, Hungary. I apologize for posting this live blog late after the event, it was more because I arrived in Budapest at noon after a 13-hour journey, and screeched into the meeting room just before lunch.

The advocacy session was amazing, with some very active discussion on the PsiPhon and TOR as a tool to bypass the censorship. Later it was followed up with a talk about creating a financial fund to help support cyber dissidents who may stand to be exposed, providing them with aid as well as good legal support. The Advocacy session was a closed session and care was taken not to publish any names of the ‘at risk’ participants, that is the reason why this Live blog rendition does not identify any specific blogger

_{Comment Policy: Moderating comments is a very difficult thing to enforce and we do not like to stop anyone's opinion no matter how bizarre it might be. The general trend of this blog has been that we never censor comments based on political or ideological point of view. But to bring a little sanity in the debate we strongly frown upon comments that are abusive, off-topic, use foul language, resort to racial attacks, use caps-locks, habitual flamers are shown the door especially those commenters who resort to ad hominem attacks are definitely deleted when caught. Simply said, if you can carry a civilized discussion then the floor is open to your hearts desire. But, we still reserve the right to delete any comment that we deem inappropriate without reason}
