Chinese police go on trial

BEIJING: Three Chinese policemen went on trial on Monday over the fatal beating of a female migrant worker, a court said, a case that sparked an online outcry about violence by law enforcers.
Zhou Xiuyun, 47, was assaulted by the police at a construction site in Taiyuan in December as she tried to prevent officers taking away her husband and son over a dispute with security guards, according to previous media reports.
