Authorities have fired an official in central China after city inspectors beat to death a man who filmed their confrontation with villagers, China's Xinhua news agency reports.
The killing has sparked outrage in China, with thousands expressing outrage in Chinese Internet chat rooms, often the only outlet for public criticism of the government.
The incident has also alarmed advocates of press freedom, who say municipal authorities had no right to attack a man for simply filming them.

It's amazingly scary how more than often people in other countries outside (and inside) of the United States are reprimanded and chastised for expressing who they are through different forms of art and expression. I feel lucky enough, for the most part, we have places like this and blogs where we can voice our own unique voices.
