Exiled Tibetans Protest Google Censorship

An AP newswire article by Ashwini Bhatia, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Scores of angry Tibetans on Tuesday protested Google's launch of a censored version of its search engine in China which adheres to that country's government restrictions on free speech.

The protesters assembled in the central square of Dharmsala, the northern Indian headquarters of the exiled Tibetan government, carrying placards reading "Google, Don't be Evil," and "Gulag, Censoring Search by Search."

The protesters also sent out 30,000 e-mails to people across the world urging them not to access Google on Tuesday.
