Anger over China tourist beating

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
24 September 2011 Last updated at 15:23 GMT A Chinese tourist was badly beaten up after being mistaken for a petitioner who wanted to lobby the authorities in Beijing, state media report.

Zhao Zhipei and three others were dragged from a hotel and bundled into a van before being dumped in their home province of Henan.

Mr Zhao was later found unconscious on a road in Luoyang city. The case caused anger on China's social media sites.

Six local officials have been punished for the beating, state media said.

Millions of people petition government offices across China every year to try to resolve disputes or complain about official misconduct.

They are often treated as a nuisance and many are rounded up by police to stop them complaining.

The Beijing News said Mr Zhao had checked into a Beijing hotel and ended up sharing a room with three other people, who were genuine petitioners.

The following day unidentified men dragged them out of the hotel and they were taken back to their home province, Henan, in central China.

"Perhaps the wrong person was caught," police in Luoyang told the newspaper.

Officials quoted by Xinhua news agency said employees of a Beijing security firm hired by the Luoyang Letters and Calls bureau had carried out the beating.

One official at the Letters and Calls bureau has been removed from his post and another suspended, Xinhua reported.

Four others have been given warnings, while a senior official has apologised to Mr Zhao.

KATHMANDU | Sun Sep 25, 2011 3:06am EDT

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A small plane carrying foreign tourists to view Mount Everest crashed in bad weather near Nepal's capital Kathmandu on Sunday, killing all 19 people on board, officials said.

Kathmandu Airport officials said there were 16 passengers and a crew of three on board the plane. The cause of the crash was not known.

"We had rushed a survivor to the hospital but he died during the treatment. So we have all 19 people dead," police spokesman Binod Singh told Reuters.

He said ground rescuers had recovered all bodies but helicopters were unable to land near the crash site due to bad weather.

"Once the helicopters land, we'll bring all bodies to Kathmandu and take them to the Teaching Hospital for post-mortem," Singh said.

A Reuters photographer, who reached the hilltop crash site through a wet and slippery mud road, saw badly damaged bodies of the victims, mobiles, shoes and other belongings scattered on a slope.

The plane has broken into several pieces and black smoke was rising from the debris, he said.

The Beech aircraft owned by Buddha Air, a private airline, was flying to Kathmandu from a mountain flight to Everest.

"The plane was returning to Kathmandu from a mountain flight when it crashed," an official at the Kathmandu airport Rescue Coordination Center, who refused to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said.

The center is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal.

He said the plane had crashed at Kotdanda, about 5 km (3 miles) south of the Nepali capital.

There were 10 Indian and two American, one Japanese, three Nepali passengers and three Nepali crew members, he said.

Kathmandu and its surrounding hills were enveloped in late monsoon clouds early on Sunday.

The last plane crash in Nepal was in December last year, when a Twin Otter aircraft hit the Himalayan foothills of remote west Nepal, killing all 22 people onboard.

Nepal is home to eight of the world's 14 highest mountain peaks, including Mount Everest.

Tens of thousands of hikers and foreign tourists go to Mount Everest and other trekking routes to see the lofty Himalayan peaks every year.

Those who cannot hike the rugged hilly trails to the mountains use mountain flights operated by different airlines to see the Himalayas.

Tourism, a key source of earning for impoverished Nepal, accounts for nearly four percent of the gross domestic product and employs tens of thousands of people, among the poorest in the world.
