Stop cruel demolition practice
A 91-year-old villager in Fujian province committed suicide because she couldn't bear the pain of her house being forcibly demolished in the next few days. This once again shows how important it is for local governments to take measures to stop forced demolitions of houses, says an article in Oriental Morning Post. Excerpts:
The relocation plan drawn up by Yongchun county government in Fujian province led to the death of a 91-year-old villager, Liu Xian. But the Yongchun government was shameless enough to say that it had nothing to do with Liu's suicide.
