10 Wuhan professors signed an open letter demanding free speech protections after a doctor who was punished for warning others about coronavirus died from it

[90DayFinancier 910]

• An open letter signed by 10 Wuhan professors argues that the Chinese government needs to enforce its own freedom of speech articles in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. 
• The letter follows the death of Li Wenliang, a Wuhan doctor who was reprimanded by police for "making false comments" after warning people about the Wuhan coronavirus – which he later contracted. 
• The open letter, along with another letter signed by academics around China, demands that the government apologize to and compensate coronavirus whistleblowers and make Li a national martyr.

All of those adjectives come AFTER the institution of socialism.  Which I'm SURE you understand, since you read your history books in school.
