Li Zehua, 25, a former China Central TV anchor, went to Wuhan to report on the coronavirus outbreak through YouTube. He visited stores, hospitals, crematoriums, and virology research labs in his search for information about the origin of coronavirus and the daily life of patients and Wuhan residents.
On Feb. 26, he said on live video that he was likely pursued by covert police who followed his car closely. These people then followed him to his home. Prior to his arrest, he live-streamed one final video to viewers, a passionate speech calling for young people to stand up and speak the truth.
