COVID 19 Whistle Blower And Journalist Released In Wuhan
The citizen journalist, Fang Bin has been released after more than three years of detention in China.
Fang who documented the early outbreak of Covid-19 in Wuhan, disappeared after sharing videos showing the on-the-ground situation in the central Chinese city, the epicenter of the original outbreak.
A family member told CNN, Fang’s health had suffered while in detention, where he had trouble eating and sleeping, and he had lost weight, the person said.
His videos posted to social media in early 2020 laid bare the realities of the virus’ deadly spread, contradicting the official narrative presented on China’s tightly controlled state media.
Authorities locked down the city of Wuhan on January 23 of that year, but there had been a period of roughly three weeks between when health officials announced a mysterious illness and confirmed it was spreading between people.
In his final videos, Fang recorded people coming to his door to ask questions and said his home was surrounded by plainclothes policemen.
According to figures from the World Health Organization, around 120,000 people have died from Covid in China, though experts believe the true number is much higher.
