Township Cadre Sends Text Message Poem Insulting County Leader, Is Arrested

On October 16, a Sichuan Province township cadre text messaged a 7-line poem insulting a county leader. As a result he was administratively detained by the Public Security Bureau on November 5, and in a circular distributed to the entire county announced that the Communist Party Discipline and Inspection Committee has placed him on inner-Party probation for two years. A person concerned explains that the original text message was sent in the hope of overcoming formalism on the part of the county leadership.
