| China prosecutor approves detention of former work safety chief |
|
| China's state prosecutor said on Monday that it has approved the detention of the former head of the work safety regulator, sacked after blasts that killed more than 160 people in August in the northern port city of Tianjin. Yang Dongliang was removed as director of the State Administration of Work Safety shortly after the massive August explosions in a warehouse in Tianjin, a city that lies not far from the capital, Beijing. In a brief statement, the prosecutor said that it had approved the taking of "coercive measures" against Yang, a term that generally denotes detention and marks the next step in the legal process before a court case. |

 By Bill Tarrant UBUD, Indonesia (Reuters) - The girl with seven names is finding it hard these days to contact relatives in Stalinist North Korea on the underground mobile phone link defectors have used for years. Hyeonseo Lee is also increasingly worried about her personal security since the July publication of the best-selling memoir about her escape from North Korea, "The Girl with Seven Names".
