Man blows up govt office after his building is razed

BEIJING: A man, angered over the demolition of his property, on Wednesday drove a vehicle with gas cylinders and blew up a government office in a central province in China, local authorities said.

The man surnamed Tian set the gas cylinders alight and crashed into the sub-district office at Zhangjiajie city in Hunan province, injuring 12 people, five of them seriously, police said. The injured were hospitalised. Tian was quickly overpowered, staterun Xinhua news agency said.

Initial probe showed he had deliberately caused the blast as revenge against the local government for demolishing an illegal building owned by him, it said.

A somewhat similar incident had taken place on Tuesday when a man stabbed six police officials to death in Shanghai in a revenge attack for having been interrogated by police over bicycle theft last year. Five policemen died on Tuesday and another succumbed to injuries on Wednesday.

The death of a teenage girl in suspicious circumstances had led to riots involving thousands of people in Guizhou province in southwest China on Saturday. PTI

Schoolgirl’s death sparks riot in China

Rioters torched buildings and cars angry over a probe into 15-year-old’s death

BEIJING: Rioters in southwestern China torched government buildings and cars after anger over a probe into a schoolgirl's death exploded into violent protests, locals and state press said Sunday.

The riots occurred Saturday in Guizhou province when protesters ransacked three government and police buildings after the girl's uncle died from an alleged beating by police trying to stop him from protesting against the handling of the case, locals and Internet postings said.

The official Xinhua news agency said the riots had erupted due to “dissatisfaction” over the investigation into the girl's death, but added no further details. Pictures posted on Internet blogs showed several thousand people gathered in front of the Wengan county police station, its windows shattered and the building smouldering.

The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said that over 10,000 people took to the streets in the protests, with up to 150 people injured in clashes with police. Police have arrested nearly 200 rioters and Sunday were seeking to round up others caught on videotape ransacking the government buildings, th centre said.

Over 1,500 paramilitary and riot police have been dispatch to the county, it added.

Locals contacted by AFP by phone said protesters took to the streets after the deceased girl's uncle was pronounced dead in a local hospital on Saturday afternoon.

The uncle had protested against the conclusion of the police investigation that had determined the 15-year-old girl committed suicide.

He had been badly beaten as he sought justice after the death of his niece, locals said.

Internet postings said the girl had been raped and then killed nine days ago and that the police were trying to cover up the alleged murder and protect the suspect, who was identified as the son of the vice head of Wengan county. Officials at the county government and police station did not answer telephone calls Sunday. AFP
