Families of Chinese Miners Angered by Lack of Info

Some relatives of miners who were killed in yesterday’s mine accident in Shanxi province complained that the mining company at fault has not been forthcoming with information. From AP:

Relatives of some of the miners complained the company had released very little information. They were sent to a shabby guesthouse where they were “told to wait,” said Qiu Jiong, the brother-in-law of a miner.

“No one would receive me or tell me anything,” said Lu Tangyao, whose 38-year-old son was killed.
Three top mining officials were removed from their posts, Xinhua reported.
