Women for Sale

Sonya is a 26 year old Ukrainian woman. Three and a helf years ago she was sold - in the UK - for 3,500 GBP.

To her new 'owners', Sonya was an investment. A property. For over two years she was forced to endure a brutal life of prostitution. 'I worked all day, maybe 12 hours ...seven days a week. I couldn't keep my money, not even tips. I was beaten on many occasions.'

Having been smuggled into the UK, sold into the sex trade and locked in a room, Sonya was forced to have sex with over 40 men a day.

DIGITAL CENSORSHIP IN GREECE. AGAIN!

Blogme.gr – a Greek information and RSS aggregation website – was shut down and its administrator, Antonis Tsipropoulos, was sued for a blog entry that appeared on the aggregation pages – originating from another blog.

Effectively this is like suing Google for the results it yields.

This reminds me of something...
Also (I almost forgot...), there is something else to mention here, concerning the situation in Greece.
