2015年CRI 台湾监狱挟持案6囚犯饮弹自尽 2015中纪委首轮巡视26家央企

 

Six inmates¹ who had taken a warden² and another correction officer hostage at a prison in southern Taiwan have reportedly committing suicide.

The two hostages are said to have escaped unharmed.

The prisoners, under the guise³ of needing medical care, managed to over-power their guards before taking them hostage.

They also managed to secure guns and ammunition⁴ from the prison armory⁵.

It's being reported the six eventually turned the guns on themselves after a lengthy⁶ standoff.

No other casualties have been reported.

Chinese discipline authorities say the first round of inspections⁷ this year are going to cover 26 centrally-administered state-owned enterprises.

The inspections themselves are set to begin after Spring Festival.

Chinese state-owned companies have been criticized for, among other things, the selling and buying of positions and forming cliques⁸.

A previous round of inspections led to the dismissal of 70 different executives this past year.

Chinese health authorities now say the number of H7N9 bird flu cases in humans in China has reached 100 this year.

The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention says Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are among the most heavily infected areas.

The latest case has emerged in the city of Shantou in Guangdong.

That province has recorded 43 different bird flu cases so far this year.

Local officials say they are in the process of shutting down live poultry⁹ markets.

However, they say that process won't be complete until June.
