British Reporters Beaten Up in Chinese Village
Boxun News ^ | 10/09/05 | vanity

Please be patient while reading this ! The correspondents for Boxun are dissident Chinese who risk beatings and imprisonment when they smuggle stories like this out on the Internet.(Yahoo has ratted several of them out.)

Evidently, a British reporter named Benjamin, accompanied by an honest People's Representative, was investigating corruption and misuse of power in a small village.

Both men were set upon and beaten:the representative being left in the road for dead.Benjamin was set free-with help of UK embassy.

The report begins with a followup.

Visit these folks when you can, and get a first-hand look at "The People's Paradise".
