A man who attempted to escalate the public outcry by spreading the rumors of police killing two youngsters in a street protest against the construction of a Japanese paper mill's pipeline to the sea in Qidong, city of Jiangsu Province, has been detained, local police said.
The netizen surnamed Sun fabricated the story that on July 28, police trampled a nine-year-old girl to death on the morning and beat an 18-year-old university student to death, Qidong police said on its official website today.
Sun has been sentenced to 10 days under the administrative detention for disturbing the social order by spreading rumors and was fined 500 yuan (US$78.4), the announcement said.
Many Qidong residents took to the street to protest against the construction over concerns that it would pollute the nearby Lusi Fishery, but they were dispersed after learning that the government cancelled the project.
The project was planned by Oji Paper Co Ltd. Work had not started, said Qidong government officials.
