The most popular HBV commonweal website “In the Hepatitis B Camp Network of China” succeed in getting register

On this tuesday , “In the Hepatitis B Camp Network of China”, the most popular HBV commonweal website (Bulletin Board System) for hepatitis B carriers in China, succeed in getting register from the Beijing local government.

On November 28, 2007, “In the Hepatitis B Camp Network” was forcefully closed down with no prior notice by the Beijing local government. The reason for this is, as Beijing Communications Administration Bureau stated, 'In the Hepatitis B Camp Network of China' did not registered in the bureau.

After the website being shut down, “In the Hepatitis B camp network” resumed immediately with another spare server, as a result, the visit number hasn’t been influenced a lot. Meanwhile, we carried out a series of work to register for the network. Meanwhile attorney Li Fangping and attorney Liu Wei were entrusted to sue the Beijing local government.

With the jointly great attention and support of the HBV carriers in all over the China, civil society of China and international community, we eventually succeed in registering the network.

Congratulations for “In the Hepatitis B Camp Network of China” successfully being registered. Thank you for the support of the HBV carriers in all over the China, civil society of China and international community.
