Wu Xianghu
Beating
Wu Xianghu, 41, who was the deputy editor of the Taizhou Evening News in Taizhou, died of liver and kidney failure in a Hangzhou hospital.
Wu Xianghu had been in hospital since police beat him in October after the release of a report about the unreasonable charges associated with acquiring drivers' licences in Taizhou's Jiaojiang district. He was then beaten by 50 police officers.
