Time to halt illegal seizures of land by force

ON AUG 21, a villager was killed by a forklift truck in Heze, East China's Shandong province, while trying to stop forced occupation of his land. Beijing Youth Daily commented:

Reports show that the forklift truck started construction work on the land without obtaining the victim's consent, as he refused to sign an agreement because the reimbursement was too low. Without this, it was illegal for construction to start.

And the excuse that the forklift truck experienced a "mechanical failure" is neither believable nor justifiable. What mechanical failure could kill a person? The victim was legally standing on his land, why was the forklift illegally on his land? These questions need answering.
