A total of 16 people accountable for the coal mine flooding that claimed 121 lives last year in southern Guangdong Province on Wednesday received prison terms ranging from two years with reprieve to six years, according to the Intermediate People's Court of Meizhou City, Guangdong Province.
The criminals, including Wang Zhuoxiong, chief of the local work safety watchdog, Li Zhenquan, deputy director of local land resources bureau, and many other city-level officials, were penalized for dereliction of duty, bribery, or illegal mining.
