Thousands of villagers in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region clashed with workers and destroyed equipment at an aluminium plant that they say poisoned their water and flooded 100 homes, the South China Morning Post reported, citing Jingxi county officials.
The Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said yesterday more than 100 people were hurt in the clashes and at least 10 vehicles were damaged by angry villagers, according to the report.
The confrontation erupted on July 11 when the workers tried to construct a road next to Lingwan, Jingxi county said in a statement, according to the Morning Post.
