Philippine Activists Stage 'Virtual Sit-In'

A cursory search on the web for "philippine human rights" did not immediatly reveal the web site mentioned in the article.

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

Computer-savvy Philippine protesters took civil disobedience to cyberspace Thursday, launching a "virtual sit-in" campaign that urged online activists to overwhelm the police Web site with numerous hits.
