Xiang Nanfu (April 2004)
Xiang Nanfu, pictured here at an Easter meal in 2004, was accused of publishing
“numerous false stories”
Chinese authorities say they have detained a man who posted “fabricated information” on a foreign news site.
State-run Xinhua news agency said Xiang Nanfu, 62, had published “false stories” on the Boxun website that “seriously harmed” China’s image.
Boxun, a US-based Chinese news site, posts stories on protests and rights that would not appear in state media.
