江苏农民吴立红因涉嫌以环保名义敲诈企业钱财被宜兴警方逮捕,之前他曾致力环境污染举报十余年。这位民间环保知名人士,从1990年代初开始针对环境污染问题向各级政府写信举报,他曾因此被单位开除,并遭人殴打。2005年,他被评为“中国十大民间杰出环保人物”。宜兴警方称,他们掌握吴立红敲诈、勒索的铁证,认定吴曾伪造某企业印章、私开收据,从一企业骗得现金30000元,并从其家中搜得私刻公章一枚。于是,这名环保人士的真实身份变得扑朔迷离。 Wu Lihong, a farmer in Jiangsu, was arrested by Yixing police for allegedly extortioning corporate money in the name of environmental protection. Prior to that, he had been reporting environmental pollution for more than ten years. The private environmental celebrity from the early 1990s began to write letters to all levels of government regarding environmental pollution. He was expelled from the unit and beaten. In 2005, he was named “China Top Ten Non-governmental Outstanding Environmentalists.” Yixing police said they have grasped Wu Lihong blackmail, extortion of evidence, found Wu had forged a business seal, privately opened the receipt, deceive cash from a business 30,000 yuan, and from his home search for a private seal. As a result, the real identity of the environmentalists become complicated and confusing.
