Five give selves up in Changsha for protest riots

FIVE people turned themselves in to police just one day after authorities in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province published the photos of 20 suspects smashing cars and vandalizing properties in an anti-Japanese protest on September 15.

The photos were taken by surveillance cameras and were published online by the police.

The 20 suspects were seen in the photos smashing Japanese-made cars and damaging stores during the mass protest against Japan's illegal purchase of China's Diaoyu Islands.

Changsha police detained dozens of rioters on September 16. Most of them were unemployed or had criminal records for fighting or gambling.

Protests erupted in many cities in China on September 15 and 16 after the Japanese government announced its purchase of the disputed islands in the East China Sea.
