TWO officials in Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, have been sacked after a string of explosions hit government buildings late last month in what officials called a revenge attack spiraling out of discontent over relocation compensation.
Fu Qing, Party chief of Linchuan District, and Xi Dongsen, the district director, were removed from their posts on Saturday, a spokesman for the Fuzhou government said yesterday.
Qian Mingqi, who was in dispute with the local government over compensation, is believed to have caused the explosions on May 26 near the city's prosecutors office and the district's government office and food and drug agency building.
Qian was killed in one of the explosions together with two guards and an employee of the district's bureau of water resources, the spokesman said.
Qian had been demanding more compensation after being relocated to make way for a highway in 2002.
The government offered compensation of 1.8 times the market price at the end of 2010 but he refused it. A local court in Fuzhou was reviewing the case, the spokesman said.
Qian said Xi had "illegally lowered the compensation standards" during the highway project in 2002.
Meanwhile, Wang Cailiang, a lawyer from Beijing, said he would be providing free legal advice for Qian's family.
"The family knew nothing about the explosions," said Wang in his blog on Caijing.com.cn.
Wang expressed the family's hope for the minimum of disturbance by the media.
