BlueLink has initiated an internet campaign in support of everyone using the World Wide Web to exchange information and ideas.

The campaign was triggered by the scandalous investigation of a Bulgarian blogger by the General Directorate for Combat against the Organized Crime.His only “crime” was reporting about the protest supporting the Strandja nature park.

The blogger in question is Michel Bozgounov (and in English here). More information on the case is available on the Bulgarian blog, Maya’s Corner, and of course in Michel’s own words. Michel’s case is a perfect picture of the troubles that are specific to bloggers.

On the stairs one of the police officers told me “in private” that I should be more careful what I am writing about in future, because journalists have a better defense against possible prosecution and I am just an ordinary person, an independent blogger.
