Asia Sentinel has pulled down its Shenzhen Olympic torch protest story, saying that, though it came from a previously reliable source, it isn’t “sufficiently verifiable”.
Meanwhile this sounds much more believable: The AP reports that a 28-year-old man, identified only as Tang, was detained in Zhenjiang in Jiangsu province for saying on the Internet that he planned to grab the Olympic torch during its relay through eastern China. Tang was detained on May 7 and will be held for 10 days, according to an official in the local public security bureau.
