Why this is Important.- La Gringa is a serious, long-time blogger (since 2006) who lives in the most dangerous city in the most dangerous country in the world according to the United Nations - Honduras, where 17 journalists have been murdered in the past 2 years. and where many reporters are afraid to write about organized crime or political matters.She uses a pseudonym, as many authors do, not to deceive, but because it is the only way that she can exercise her freedom of speech without fear of serious reprisals. Her articles have been published all over the internet under that pseudonym.This week she started writing a series of blog articles about crime and narcotrafficking in Honduras -- and that is likely what prompted the complaint about her account, just as postings of her political articles were blocked by Facebook for a time last year and the year before because of false complaints.e.g. http://lagringasblogicito.blogspot.com/2011/10/crime-is-out-of-control-in-honduras.htmlRead full petition here.- http://www.change.org/petitions/ceo-reinstate-the-lagringa-account-----I asked the same on Quora.. let's see what's the faster way of getting an answer..Hacker News vs Quora
