Quote:

"There was no suggestion Skype helped police to collect evidence, he [Zhu's lawyer Li Dunyong] said. 'They took his computer away from his home and went through it,' he said. 'His internet contacts and password were saved on it, with automatic access, and when the police accessed it they could open the records of text messages saved on Skype. He had not erased the records.'

"A version of the poem that has circulated on the internet, declares: "It's time, Chinese people!/The square belongs to everyone/The feet are yours/It's time to use your feet and take to the square to make a choice."
