Insane: The Price of Speaking Out in China; Beyond Belief: The Word of God, Through the Mouths of Babes; NASA Launches Endeavour and Crashes the Moon - In China, speaking truth to power has never been easy. But now, a disturbing trend: whistleblowers, dissidents, and ordinary people seeking justice declared mentally ill, hospitalized, then medicated against their will and often beaten. Victims say it is a way for Chinese officials to silence dissidents. Next, the latest in our continuing series on faith, Beyond Belief. Carol McKinley examines a growing phenomenon -- child preachers. She meets kids as young as two who take the pulpit to preach to adoring and believing congregants. Finally, NASA finally gets Shuttle Endeavour off the ground, and gets ready for a planned crash landing into the moon. World Report airs Tuesdays at 9pmET on HDNet.
