A picture of jailed Chinese journalist Shi Tao is reflected in the entrance sign of China's embassy in Berlin August 24, 2007. On Friday 'Amnesty International' (AI) handed over more than 15000 signatures demonstrating for the release of Shi Tao. Shi is serving a 10-year prison sentence for passing on information on how Chinese authorities instructed local media to cover the 15th anniversary of the military crackdown on a pro-democracy movement in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
