Online Edition
CHINESE authorities have detained nine people for spreading rumours on the Internet that several military officers were involved in protests and for damaging the military's image, the military's official newspaper said on Friday.
The nine "fabricated and spread the rumours" on the Internet, the People's Liberation Army Daily said.
They used Chinese microblogs and mobile messaging apps to "spread military-related rumours, slander military cadres and falsely accuse troops of being involved in 'mass incidents'," the newspaper added.
Some of them also "demonised the military's image", it said.
The newspaper did identify the nine but gave the family names of three of them as Huang, Yuan and Song.
The people confessed to spreading rumours and had been sentenced to "administrative detention", it said, a term which is normally up to 15 days behind bars. They also had to undergo "education". It provided no further details.
