BBC News reports on recent unrest in China. Approximately 10,000 participants took to the streets in both Hunan and Ningbo to air grievances.
The Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said that, in both protests, violent clashes erupted between angry crowds and local authorities.
In Jishou 50 people were injured in rioting, and police arrested 20 people, the group said.
According to Xinhua news agency, the protesters blocked roads and trains to demand that the government take action after a fundraising company “failed to pay them back as promised”.
