A STREET protest by around 200 people demanding a south China township government severely punish alleged offenders in a wage dispute turned violent when vehicles were smashed and torched.
Protesters gathered outside the Guxiang Town government building in Guangdong Province on Monday night.
Police were sent to persuade them to leave but the crowd didn't disperse until 10:30pm. Three cars were smashed and another was set alight. Nine people were detained, Nanfang Daily reported yesterday.
The protesters were fellow villagers of a man surnamed Xiong, who works in a porcelain factory in Guxiang.
They gathered in an attempt to have men who allegedly slashed Xiong in a wage dispute reprimanded. Police have seized three suspects.
