(jp) = Jiang Yanyong, a Chinese military doctor who revealed the full extent of the 2003 SARS outbreak and was later placed under house arrest for his political outspokenness, has died in Beijing from pneumonia at the age of 91. Jiang had served as chief surgeon at the PLA’s main 301 Hospital in Beijing, which is situated around the central Tiananmen Square. In April 2003, when the Communist Party was suppressing news about the highly infectious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Jiang wrote an 800-word letter saying there were far more SARS cases than were officially reported.
