Media muted on Shanwei incident – Jane Cai

From the South China Morning Post, via Asia Media:

Reports on the detention of the police commander who led the crackdown on protesters in Dong-zhou village, Shanwei, were carried in only three Guangdong newspapers yesterday.

The Guangzhou Daily, the Nanfang Daily and the Yangcheng Evening News all carried the same report — apparently directly issued by provincial authorities — on the alleged accident that officials said left three villagers dead and eight injured.
