"Just last October 18, a laborer/farmer in Wan
Zhou near Chongqing in Sichuan province
accidentally brushed against a woman on a busy
street. The woman’s husband refused to accept
profuse apologies. He beat the offending farmer
up and broke the man's leg. To discourage passers-
by from intervening, he declared himself to be a
government official, though government officials
deny that. The message: 'I beat him because I
can.' This enraged the townspeople. Within hours
up to 40,000 people surrounded the main
government building, setting a police van on fire
and repelling police crowd-control squads.
Ten days later, the city of Han Yuan, also in
Sichuan province, was shut down as hundreds of
thousands of farmers staged a sit-in at the site
of a hydro-power station under construction.
Faced with government-backed eviction from their
land without adequate compensation, the farmers
protested. There are sketchy allegations of
clashes with the armed police. Witness accounts
gleaned from the tumult claim that students
joined the farmers and together they stormed the
government buildings and that police
reinforcements were sent in. But the government
has since cut off all roads and communication
lines, imposing a news blackout."
Full story.
