More than a hundred Chinese villagers attacked a police station to protest the death of a man they say was beaten by local Communist Party security guards, police said Friday, the latest in a recent spate of violence triggered by discontent with authorities.
Relatives gathered Thursday after Ouyang Jiusheng, 40, died in a motorcycle accident near Shangnan village in the southern province of Guangdong, according to a police statement sent via e-mail.
A police officer and a doctor determined that Ouyang died of injuries sustained after his bike overturned, however, the relatives argued he was beaten by the guards who refused to let police take his body away, it said. The statement did not give a reason for the relatives’ allegation.
