Chinese citizen journalist, Zhou ‘Zuola’ Shuguang was today placed under a kind of ‘town arrest’ by Chinese authorities.  Apparently he was able to tweet the incident, oh the joys of twitter, and his followers quickly got the word out.

The authorities seemed to be uncomfortable with his intention to travel to Beijing and blog about the olympic games.  Zuola knew he would be visited by the authorities today and had tweeted about to let everybody know.

Aware of the rucus he was causing he decided against going to Beijing, and was at home when the ….’government people’ came for him.  He was detained for a bout an hour and released, and informed that he would not be allowed to leave his hometown for the time being, and told that if he left he would be brought back.

Global Voices writes that this is the second time Zuola has be threatened for his blogging.
