About 2,000 disgruntled farmers have clashed with hundreds of policemen in China’s northern region of Inner Mongolia in a land dispute that injured dozens with one government official calling the situation “anarchy.”
The July 21 clash in Qianjin village, a part of Tongliao city about 450 miles northeast of Beijing, was one of a growing number of protests across China, most of which go unreported in the tightly controlled state media.
“We were caught by surprise. Police punched and kicked villagers even as they lay on the ground,” one farmer said requesting anonymity.
