Hu Jia got robbed by the Nobel committee

Hat tip to "I Me and Myself" for informing us of this.
cHindu has a sardonic way of promoting someone who has fought most of his life against an ideology it fervently espouses. Hu Jia is well known internationally as the most prominent human rights activist in China who was jailed by the Commie Govt. for trying to free his countrymen from the yoke of Communism.
As cHindu says,

The little-known Mr. Hu has in recent years become the international face of the country’s civil rights movement a small group of activists, scholars and lawyers who campaign for greater political freedoms here, and often face intimidation from the authorities.

Hu is not alone in his fight, there are many others who have been incarcerated in Chinese prisons for thinking and discussing human rights something a Communist regime denies.

Mr. Hu has also controversially called for a public inquiry into the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, an event which saw the deaths of hundreds of students. Discussing the event is still taboo in China today.

Here's hoping Hu's efforts yields results in the near future.
