The spokesman for the family of the victims and speaker Zhang Hai said at least five lawsuits had been filed with the Wuhan Intermediate people's Court. His father also died Coronavirus. plaintiffs each sought compensation of about 2 million yuan ($295000) and a public apology.

Their tragic story
But Zhong Han can describe a very different story. By late January, infectious diseases were spreading rapidly in the Wuhan, and officials had not issued citywide warnings. Near the Lunar New Year, Zhong and her 39-year-old son Peng Yi, a primary school teacher, were still shopping happily in crowded shops. Millions of people leave Wuhan vacation.
"Because we didn't know the bus was full virus, we went out every day and did n' t even know we were wearing masks ," Zhong told AFP. "On 24 January, Wuhan finally began to block, and she and her son were ill. She recovered quickly, but her son deteriorated.
Fear flooded their families, including Zhong Haneng's husband, Peng Yi's wife and their 7-year-old daughter.
For the next two painful weeks, they spent a long time in a overloaded hospital, begging for Peng Yi's hospitalization, which lacked testing tools and was repeatedly rejected. Peng Yi was finally hospitalized on February 6 th.
But his family never saw him again. Two weeks later, he died of respiratory failure.
"I can't imagine how upset he must have been, he must have been scared, sad family. "Can Zhong Han say ," Did he try to shout out his mother and father? I don't know. "
Zhang Hai believes that his father was infected in Wuhan hospital during treatment because of unrelated diseases. He said authorities was launching a campaign to discredit him, suspended his social media account and spread rumors that all lawsuits were fraud.
Zhang hai accused Wuhan government, others have also received official intimidation, the victims' families group chat has been infiltrated by the police. He said :" They know that if I succeed in bringing prosecute suit, many other families will follow suit. "
Wuhan city government not willing to accept the afp response request.
Dozens of victims' families have formed in group conversations alliance, but most are afraid to act, Zhang said. Zhang Hai recently filed a prosecute lawsuit with the provincial court because the first trial in Wuhan city was rejected. Zhong Han can also plan to do so.
Senior maintain legal rights Yang Zhanqing believes that although public apologies are unthinkable, government are likely to quietly meet the demands of some families. Prior to this, Zhang Hai intends to ignore personal risks, all the way to China's Supreme Court in Beijing to appeal. He said ," father is my motivation. "
