A MAN wrongly detained by police for over a week is to contest a decision by officers to pay him 3,000 yuan (US$453) in compensation, far short of the 30,000 yuan he said he was promised.
"Police didn't contact me for over a month after we reached an oral agreement about the amount of compensation on December 3," Wang Peng said. "They felt the pressure from media and had to respond after People's Daily reported the situation on its website on January 10."
Wang was taken from his workplace in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, by officers from Wuzhong in neighboring Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on November 23 after he had made allegations of an employment scandal involving his former university roommate.
Wang, a graduate of Lanzhou University, had claimed online that his roommate, Ma Jingjing, may have cheated in the 2007 civil servant recruitment exam.
He suggested that Ma's parents, senior officials in Ningxia, may have used their influence to secure a job for their son.
Wuzhong police admitted they were wrong to detain Wang, as the case was a civil dispute, People's Daily said.
"Based on Wuzhong's economy and past cases, we decided to pay 3,000 yuan," said Wu Haibo, deputy director of Wuzhong's Public Security Bureau.
Wu denied making an earlier agreement with Wang.
Zhou Ze, Wang's lawyer, said his client would be applying for a ruling on compensation at the Wuzhong Intermediate People's Court.
