Irrepressible.Fragment
Amnesty International UK has created Irrepressible.info, a website to squeeze censored information into countries with repressive governments. A core part of the Irrepressible campaign is to put short snippets of banned information onto personally owned webpages, making it impossible for a government to censor all news, without hiding the entire outside world.
Irrepressible.Fragment brings those snippets to your WordPress blog. By adding Irrepressible.Fragment to your sidebar, you will help make censored information ubiquitous.

I’m quite new to WordPress, installing plugins, etc. but this was very easy to configure – and I sincerely appreciate your efforts.
I do wonder if there might be an easy way (e.g. for one of modest skills, like myself) to customize the widget, so clicks on the graphic result in externally opened windows, but that’s a tiny matter.
Again, great work.
