China seals off town after police shooting – Geoffrey York

From The Globe and Mail:

Hundreds of riot police are maintaining tight control over all exits from a Chinese village where dozens of protesters were reportedly killed or injured by police gunfire last week.Chinese authorities are keeping an equally tight lid on news media coverage of the bloody crackdown on protesters. Only a single authorized report, blaming the deaths on a “chaotic mob” of protesters, has been allowed into the Chinese media, and Chinese websites are prohibiting their readers from commenting on the clash.
