SIX people received jail terms yesterday from nine months to three years and a half for one of the worst outbreaks of unrest in southern Guangdong Province, the Guangzhou Daily reported today.
Li Zhonghuang was sentenced to three years and six months in prison on the crime of creating disturbances. Li led a group of people on June 11 to destroy three police vehicles at the Xintang Township in Zengcheng City, causing damages worth 160,880 yuan (US$25,000), the report said, citing the local court.
Yang Fajun and Ran Qinghua received a two-year jail term each for vandalizing vehicles on June 12 in Xintang. Ou Lin was sentenced to nine months while Kang Chuan got a term of two years and a half for destroying public facilities and vehicles on June 11.
Zhao Jiu, who resisted arrest and hurt a policeman, was sentenced to two years in prison for obstruction of official affairs, according to the newspaper.
Earlier media reports said that 11 suspects involved in the unrest have been charged by local procurators for obstruction of official affairs, causing a disturbance and intentional damage of property.
The Party secretary and deputy Party secretary of Xintang Township have been removed from their posts after the unrest which erupted in the export-oriented area.
During the unrest, some people gathered around a police station, damaging vehicles and bank's cash machines and attacking police officers in Xintang after a pregnant woman got involved in a dispute with local security personnel who asked her to move her stall from the front of a supermarket, according to previous media reports.
The woman was a migrant worker from southwest China's Sichuan Province who seeks a living in the town.
