 AFP - Friday, July 17
BEIJING (AFP) - - Police in southern China have denied that a foreign man who jumped from a second-floor window while fleeing police had died in his fall, after his rumoured death prompted African migrants to protest.

In a statement posted late Thursday on the Internet, Guangzhou police said the man was seriously injured but still alive.
On Thursday, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post identified the jumper as Emmanul Egisimba from Nigeria and said he died after leaping from the second floor of the shopping mall in Guangzhou.
However the police statement contradicted this and other similar reports, saying: "The injuries of the foreign man are currently stable, but his life remains in danger."
Police who raided the shopping centre where the incident took place were investigating illegal currency transactions, the statement said, contradicting reports of a clampdown on illegal migrants.
The man leapt about five metres (16 feet) from a window of the shopping centre on Wednesday afternoon, but his feet got caught in wires and he fell head first, the statement said.
Another foreigner was also injured after leaping from an adjacent window. He was in stable condition in hospital, the statement said, adding that other suspects escaped.
Reports of the Nigerian's death sparked a protest by more than 100 Africans outside a police station in Guangzhou, which neighbours Hong Kong.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Thursday the case was being investigated.
Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, has a substantial African population, many of them traders looking to buy cheap goods from China's factories.
There are currently about 20,000 Africans registered as residing in the city, according to a report by Guangzhou's Academy of Social Sciences, but it is estimated that illegal immigrants could take that number far higher.
