Chinese security forces cut off power and phones, fired tear gas and stun grenades, and beat protestors in a southern village to try to end an 18-day rebellion.
Dozens of villagers in Shangpu were hospitalised and six people were arrested, according to witnesses.
"They came at about midnight, or maybe half an hour later. They cut off the power first," said one villager involved in the fracas.
"Around 60 people were injured, mostly older people. Some of them had broken bones, one had a stun grenade explode in his face and may need to go to the provincial hospital," he added.
"There were more than 3,000 officers. All the roads were full of police cars and other vehicles. People with friends in the public security bureau said 3,000 to 4,000 people were sent." Full story...
