Journalist dies in China after police beating

A journalist has died after being beaten by a policeman in China. Xiao Guopeng, an editor at the Anshun Daily newspaper in Guizhou province, was punched and knocked to the ground by police officer named as Pan Dengfeng. The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy believes the assault might have been linked to an article written by Xiao that was critical of police. Pan has been arrested by his own police force. (Via AsiaMedia Media News Daily)
