SARS whistleblower goes missing
REUTERS , BEIJING
Friday, Jun 04, 2004,Page 5

Jiang Yanyong (???), the military doctor who exposed China's SARS cover-up last year, and his wife have disappeared on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the army crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, their daughter said yesterday.

Jiang, a hero to many Chinese for blowing the whistle on the government cover-up of an outbreak of the SARS virus, upset the authorities after he wrote a letter to the country's top leaders in February asking for a reappraisal of the student-led pro-democracy protests.

"We, the children of Dr. Jiang Yanyong, would like to appeal to the Chinese government to investigate the disappearance of our parents in Beijing," the couple's daughter Jiang Rui (??), who lives in California, said in a statement.
