urge the Chinese government to stop human right abuse in urbanization in Cangzhou, Hebei province

Created by J.A. on May 17, 2013

Please stop human right abuse in Dajinzhuang, Cangzhou, Hebei province, China. Villagers are under pressure to leave their houses so the local government can build skyscrapers. Ironically, all officials moved to fancy single-family houses while many others are forced to move to 33-story buildings. Li, Huanling, 72 years old, lives in his house since he was born. He and other villagers don't want to move to skyscrapers. Then, their essential utilities are shut down and paths to their houses are blocked by deep trenches. Many villagers were beaten up by steel sticks until their legs and ribs were broken. Explosive devices were thrown to their houses. The violence escalated recently when his son (Li, Baocheng) was attacked and stabbed with knives multiple times so he nearly died. Please help
