...instinct to kick the Establishment is reflected in the lineup of presenters. One of them is Peter Tatchell, 55, a gay activist who twice attempted a citizen's arrest of Robert Mugabe because of Zimbabwe's treatment of homosexuals.

(An estimated 80% of Vietnam's 84 million people are Buddhist, but after the Vietnam war the Communist Party folded the religion's many sects into one state-controlled church.) Quang Do smuggled his messages to his supporters in Paris who then channel the word back to Vietnam. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several times...
