China Prosecutes 96 for Coal Mine Deaths – AP

From the AP, via the Houston Chronicle:



China has dismissed two provincial deputy governors and prosecuted 96 officials blamed for six high-profile coal mine accidents that killed a total of 528 people over the past 13 months, the government announced Friday.

All six disasters were blamed on managers who failed to follow safety rules, sometimes with official collusion, the country’s top industrial and mine safety officials said at a news conference.
