From Reuters via the New York Times:
Chinese authorities have dismissed a Christian reporter after he posted comments on the Internet denouncing the destruction of a church in the country’s east, the reporter said on Monday.
Zan Aizong, bureau chief of the Zhejiang office of the China Ocean News newspaper, recently converted to Christianity and was baptised in July. He denounced his dismissal as a blow to freedom.
“The authorities are doing whatever they can to crack down on reporters who dare to tell the truth,” Zan told Reuters. “They deprived me of my freedom some days ago, and now they are taking away my job.” [Full Text]
