This is getting quite a bit of media coverage here – a 22 year old university graduate beaten to death by plain-clothes police. Here’s coverage in English. This occurred on October 11th at Box (a nightclub not too far from HIT – I’ve been there briefly twice). Chinasmack has good coverage of reactions to the incident, from a number of China’ large web-forums. The reactions there are as almost as staggering as the event itself. Opinions are largely divided between “he was a spoiled brat who started the fight and deserved it” and “this is just another example of unwarranted police brutality.”
