Fighting China's Golden Shield: Cisco sued over jailing and torture of dissidents

Cisco, one of the world's largest technology companies, is being sued by Chinese political prisoners for allegedly providing the technology and expertise used by the Chinese Communist Party to monitor, censor and suppress the Chinese people.

Daniel Ward, of US law firm Ward & Ward, has brought the case on behalf of Du Daobin, Zhou Yuanzhi, Liu Xianbin and 10 unnamed others. He compared Cisco's actions to "IBM's behavior in Nazi Germany". Cisco has rejected the allegations as baseless but has failed to respond to serious questions stemming from an internal company presentation.
