Prison for taking photos of unsafe schools

It may because of the media invasion of china, but there are quite few stories coming out from the places that rarely ever get visited by outsiders.

Like this teacher who following the terrible earthquake in the Sichuan region, which killed over 70,000 and devastated whole areas. He has been arrested for and been sentenced to re-education through hard work!

Some of the school buildings that survived earthquake are considered to be unsafe, the teacher wanted to let the world know about this problem by photographing the buildings and commenting on their condition, big mistake!
