History

On the night of April 20, 2005 and later in the early morning of June 11, 2015, occurred incidents in which over two hundred allegedly hired thugs descended on a village in northern China and clashed with local residents over a land dispute. Seven people were killed and 48 others injured and hospitalized, eight of whom in critical condition.[3] The chaos was captured on video by one of the farmers and later released by Washington Post.
