Workers sue govt for denial of information

GUANGZHOU: Five citizens in Rucheng county, Hunan province, took the county government to the Chenzhou intermediate people's court on Monday for denying them access to government information.

The action marked the first time in which a government was sued for failing to disclose information after new national regulations on information disclosure took effect on May 1.

They have asked the court to rule that the county government must reveal the information they requested.
