China: Hundreds of Riot Police Battle the People of Shishou (2)

Hundreds of baton-wielding police on Sunday dispersed protesters and cordoned off a city hotel in central China after a young man’s mysterious death sparked unrest, a local official and a witness said.

More than 200 people were injured in the clashes between police and re More..sidents outside the hotel in Hubei province’s Shishou city, according to a Hong Kong-based rights group, the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy.

Hundreds had been angered by the death of 24-year old Tu Yuangao, who was found dead Wednesday evening in front of the Yonglong hotel. Tu’s relatives believe he was killed by the hotel boss, who is related to the mayor, the rights group said.

    • what a stupid comment.
      If you are being sarcastic, I apologize.
      If not, get ready for the wave ;o)
      It's no longer about parties or religions, it is about freedom, pure and simple.
      I am no right wing extremeist. I am left if anything, but people tend to rise up in a cathartic moment.
      the desire for freedom is very strong.
      Anyone who "feels" supressed is likely to rise up now and it could get ugly.
      All around the world.
      I just hope there are no more Nedas.

  • Quit trading with these savages, until they clean up their act. Penalize and jail big bosses in corporations who move their operations offshore to avoid tax, labor laws and EPA standards to profit off of the backs of oppressed people. Don't pay back Chinese loans.
