Hundreds of migrant workers angry over mistreatment of a fellow worker surrounded a police station in eastern China and smashed cars and motorbikes, a Hong Kong-based human rights organization said Monday.
The three days of rioting began Thursday in Kanmen town in coastal Zhejiang province, according to the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy.
The deputy director of the public security bureau in Yuhuan county, which oversees Kanmen, played down the incident. Wen Zhengui also denied that anyone had been killed in the violence, responding to a question from a reporter about rumors that two people had died.
“It’s definitely a rumor, it’s fake,” Wen Zhengui said in a news release posted on the county’s website. It said 23 people were detained.
