I like jasmine not because it has stunning beauty, but because it gives off elegance and fragrance.

In that sense, the large-scale clampdown prompted by calls for a Jasmine Revolution shows that the police are beginning to lose the information battle.

I love to smell the fragrance of jasmine flowers.

Dozens have been rounded up or put under surveillance in order to prevent them from responding to anonymous internet-circulated calls for an Arab-style "jasmine revolution" in China.

It is not surprising, then, that when Ben Ali ordered the Tunisian army' s chief of staff, Rachid Ammar, to fire on the protesters as the Jasmine Revolution gained momentum, the general refused.
