'everyday hero' Dr. Li Wenliang dead whistleblower ...
"Beijing (AsiaNews) - Li Wenliang, the doctor who first raised the alarm about the coronavirus and who the police silenced, died in the hospital after contracting the infection from a patient. His death - first denied, then admitted by the state media - is provoking ferocious comments on the web, even if the internet police cancel most of them.
Last December, the 34-year-old ophthalmologist sent messages to his colleagues warning them of a virus similar to that of Sars. But the internet police immediately intervened and accused him of "spreading rumors" that disturb public order. He later contracted the virus and was interned in Wuhan Central Hospital. The photo we publish is a "selfie" that he has published on social media. According to some media reports, Li is married and his wife is about to due have a son in June."
