Youth's online post said to fuel public protest

A county police chief in Gansu province was suspended on Tuesday, a day after county authorities released a 16-year-old boy from a seven-day detention for spreading rumors on the Internet.

Provincial authorities did not divulge any details as to why Bai Yongqiang, director of public security for Zhangjiachuan Hui autonomous county, was suspended, but it happened coincidentally after 16-year-old Yang Hui was released from custody after calling on netizens to protest the police's handling of a man's death on the morning of Sept 12.
