It said it had discovered that Yahoo! customer and cyber dissidents Li Zhi had been given his eight-year prison sentence in December 2003 based on electronic records provided by Yahoo. "How many more cases are we going to find?" it asked. "We were sure the case of Shi Tao, who was jailed for 10 years last April on the basis of Yahoo-supplied data, was not the only one.
