bill... a reminder of the stark contrast among the prominent global market participants... 9/15/98 -- 5:50 AM China-Reporter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BEIJING (AP) - An international press freedom group called on China's president today to release a detained journalist who has championed political reform. Shi Binhai's arrest shows ''the severe constraints on journalists in China,'' the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said in a letter to President Jiang Zemin. State security agents took Shi from his home in Beijing on Sept. 5. They confiscated notebooks and other materials. His family has been given no explanation for the arrest and they have not been told where Shi is being held. Shi, 36, an editor with the China Economic Times, also helped compile the book ''Political China: Facing the Era of Choosing a New Structure.'' The collection of 39 essays by journalists, academics and former officials addressed the need for reforming China's political structure. The Information Center, however, said another of the book's editors had not been approached by police and said interviews Shi conducted with ''some important and sensitive'' people may have led to his arrest. While a reporter for the Shanghai Law Monthly, Shi ran afoul of the authorities by taking part in student-led democracy demonstrations in 1989. He spent two years in prison and government-backed media reports in Hong Kong branded him an ''agitator.'' The committee noted that Shi's arrest came three days after security agents detained Natalie Liu, a freelance producer for CBS. She was released after two days and left China to rejoin her husband in the United States. ''With a government-controlled press and little access to due process and the rule of law, reporters and editors routinely face the threat of arbitrary arrest and detention as a consequence of their work,'' the committee said. The letter was the second appeal on Shi's behalf in two days. The Paris-based group Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans Frontieres) sent a letter of protest to Jiang on Monday.
