Two officials were sacked and several others were given verbal warnings yesterday for one of the worst outbreaks of unrest in southern Guangdong Province, the Guangzhou Daily reported today.
The Party secretary and deputy Party secretary of Xintang Township in Zengcheng City have been removed from their posts after the unrest which erupted on June 10 in the export-oriented area, the report said.
During the unrest, some people gathered around a police station, vandalizing 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.
A security guard involved in the dispute with the woman and her husband will be fired and detained by police for 10 days, the newspaper reported.
Eleven suspects involved in the unrest have been charged by local procurators for obstruction of official affairs, causing a disturbance and intentional damage of property, according to the report.
