A peasant woman in southwest Yunnan Province who kneeled down in front of Premier Wen Jiabao to complain about unfair land compensation has been released after spending one day in police detention for disturbing public order.
Liang Yonglan and three other villagers in Yiliang County, which lost 81 lives to an earthquake in September, kneeled on a road as Wen's motorcade drove toward the disaster area on September 8.
Their action forced the 30 official vehicles to stop for 20 minutes and led to serious political and social consequences, Yiliang police said.
Since the other three were away from home, police led away Liang for a seven-day administrative detention, Beijing News reported today.
The 29-year-old woman was released on November 20, one day after she was taken into custody, after a relative paid 1,000 yuan to bail her out, the paper said.
The case has triggered an uproar on the Internet and Zhaotong City Public Security Bureau began to investigate whether Yiliang County police abused their power.
The county government bought cropland from villagers two years ago to lease to factories. Every family was paid only 28,000 yuan (US$4,494) per mu (15 mu equals a hectare) in compensation, nearly 50,000 yuan less than that paid to families in a nearby village.
The woman said they learned that Premier Wen was coming on that day and she joined other villagers to draw Wen's attention to their grievance.
She denied the police accusation and said they talked to the national leader for only five minutes.
