A man accused of manufacturing and posting rumors online will stand at a Beijing court on Friday.
Qin Zhihui, better known by his online name, Qin Huohuo, was arrested last year on suspicion of spreading rumors, Beijing Chaoyang District People’s Court said in a statement on April 8.
Prosecutors accuse Qin of saying on his micro blog that the government had paid 200 million yuan ($32.3 million) in compensation to a foreign passenger after two trains collided in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, in July 2011.
The report was later refuted by police, the statement said.
Qin also made micro-blog posts that allegedly damaged others' reputations, the statement said.
Prosecutors accused Qin of slander and causing disturbances, the statement added.
