On September 13, multiple villagers in Guangshui, Suizhou, Hubei Province gathered to protest the local government's forced seizure of land and destruction of forestry without proper consultation.
After their houses were demolished in Liushutang Village, Suizhou, Hubei, villagers rummaged through the rubble for cash and clothing, and reported that the house demolition compensation had been embezzled by the village committee.
