Periodistas chinos liberados bajo fianza tras acusar a funcionario de corrupción

Dos periodistas de la provincia de Sichuan han sido liberados bajo fianza tras acusar a un funcionario local del Partido Comunista de corrupción. Liu Hu y Wu Yingjiao fueron detenidos por sospecha de calumnias y operaciones comerciales ilegales. El caso genera preocupaciones sobre abuso de poder y el espacio menguante para la supervisión mediática y la expresión pública.

El 2 de febrero, el reportero de investigación veterano Liu Hu, de 50 años, y su colega Wu Yingjiao, de 34, fueron detenidos por la policía del distrito de Jinjiang en Chengdu por sospecha de “calumnias” y “operaciones comerciales ilegales”. En un artículo publicado el mes pasado que ha sido retirado desde entonces, los dos citaron una fuente que alegaba que Pu Fayou, secretario del Partido de la localidad de Pujiang bajo Chengdu, había abusado de su autoridad para suprimir empresas privadas. El artículo también afirmaba que otros funcionarios del condado estaban involucrados en corrupción. El caso ocurrió en la provincia de Sichuan. South China Morning Post informa que genera nuevas preocupaciones sobre abuso de poder y el espacio menguante para la supervisión mediática y la expresión pública. Las palabras clave incluyen Wu Yingjiao, Pujiang, Pu Fayou, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, Reporters Without Borders, Liu Hu, Partido Comunista, Jinjiang. Liu Hu, como reportero veterano, ha enfrentado previamente presiones por su trabajo de investigación. Reporters Without Borders se menciona en las palabras clave, pero el artículo no proporciona más detalles. Los dos periodistas han sido ahora liberados bajo fianza, aunque los detalles del caso siguen pendientes de mayor divulgación.
