Team sent to probe release of prisoner from Wuhan
    2020-02-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A JOINT inspection team went to Hubei Province on Feb. 26, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, to investigate the case of an infected former prisoner who went to Beijing after being released, according to a statement from the Ministry of Justice.

The team is composed of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security.

The Xinyijiayuan community in Beijing’s Dongcheng District reported a confirmed case Feb. 24. According to a notice issued by the community’s residents’ committees Feb. 26, the female patient came to Beijing from Wuhan on Feb. 22 after having a fever in Wuhan on Feb. 18. She was quarantined on the day she arrived in Beijing. Three of her relatives have been placed under intensive quarantine and medical observation.

It went viral that the infected person was an ex-convict returning from Wuhan, and her family in Beijing drove to Wuhan to pick her up after she was released from prison. The public questioned how a person confirmed with the virus could return to Beijing on her own as Wuhan has been strictly implementing a lockdown since Jan. 23.

The Hubei provincial prison administration staff said on Feb. 26 that prisoners would be released normally in accordance with the law after finishing their sentence, according to a Beijing News report.

The report also pointed out that several prisoners had been released and left Wuhan during February. According to Aidujingshi, the official WeChat account of the public security bureau of Huanggang’s Qichun County in Hubei, on Feb. 11, a convicted felon was released from a prison in Wuhan and sent home by the police in Qichun.
