From Radio Free Asia, via Press Interpreter:
Mr. Liu, a villager of Dongzhou (Guangdong province) told this station that there are still villagers missing two evenings after the bloody conflict there. They have not returned and neighbors fear the worst. He said, “It’s already been several days and they haven’t returned. At around 9:00 in the evening, I heard that a villager had been shot, and that his brother ran out to find him, but up until now neither have returned. He has a wife and an eleven year-old child at home.”
Another villager said that he knew that at least 19 had been killed. He said, ” beaten to death”lots of people have been beaten to death, maybe ten or more. The dead have been carried away.” A different villager accused the local officials of not giving relatives a chance to identify the bodies. “Right now, the dead have all been carried off and sent to be cremated or just thrown in the sea.” The villager said that the police had opened fire on the townspeople. When asked by the reporter if he had seen it with his own eyes, he replied, “Look, I’m not making things up here, the whole town knows about it.”
