A local official put the total number of injured at 87. Six of them were seriously hurt and were undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The Shandong Coal Mine was set up as a collectively-owned mine in 1995 by local villagers, who later brought in an outside investor when cash ran short, it said. But in 2000, the businessman, identified as Li Zhao, converted the mine into a private firm when he renewed the facility&#8217;s licence, it added.<\/p>\n<p>Court rulings in 2005 and 2007 nullified Mr Li&#8217;s move, the paper said, but the mine boss, apparently backed by local land and resource officials, refused to share profits with the villagers, exacerbating the dispute. The mine produces 300,000 tonnes of coal annually. Production at the mine was halted on Saturday and the mine&#8217;s bank accounts were frozen, the paper said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From AFP: POLICE in northern China have detained eight people suspected of instigating a violent clash between scores of miners and villagers over ownership of a coal mine, state media said on Tuesday.
