Torching a police station - in pictures

China Digital Times points at stories and films that have hit the internet after the death of a girl sparked off heavy rioting and the torching of a police station in a county in Guizhou, southwest China. Reuters (saying the reports are unconfirmed according to their standards):

Residents were enraged by allegations that police had ignored a family’s claim that their 15-year old daughter, whose body was found in a river a week ago, appeared to have been raped and possibly murdered, the accounts said.

According to the official Xinhua News (who obvious felt they could not ignore the story):

The chaos started in Weng'an county seat Saturday afternoon when people who were dissatisfied with the medicolegal expertise on the death of a local girl student gathered at the county government and public security bureau, police said.

When officials were handling the case, some people who did not know about the exact context of what had happened were instigated to mob the police station and the office buildings of the county government and Communist Party committee.

Reports on this kind of riots are happening more often, despite efforts by internet censorship to avoid this kind of upheaval.
