More than 2,000 villagers in Yunnan's Suijiang County blocked roads and scuffled with police, including the head of the local public security bureau, in a protest against land seizure and relocation polices from March 25 to 29. This is the first reported case of police becoming involved in a "mass incident" related to a land dispute since the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice prohibiting police from participating in "non-security activities," including land expropriation earlier this month.
