FOUR people have been punished for spreading rumors that a group of HIV/AIDS carriers was attempting to transmit the virus by contaminating food.
The four, all from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, have apologized for spreading the rumor via mobile phones and online forums, a spokesman for the regional public security department said yesterday.
The spokesman did not disclose the punishment nor the full names of the people.
The four include one person, surnamed Mu, from Shihezi City, one, surnamed Liu, from Urumqi, one, surnamed Zhang, from the Kazak autonomous prefecture of Ili and a fourth, surnamed Gan, from the Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Bayingolin.
They spread rumors of an "AIDS blood attack" between November 11 and 16, said officials.
These claimed HIV carriers from Xinjiang had contaminated restaurant food with their blood, infecting a diner.
Nothing was found to back these claims, Xinjiang authorities said.
