Jiangsu Province Yangzhou City Forced Demolition: Tenants Lock Metal Safety Gates, Attacked by Thugs with Gas

According to the reports of private property rights defense website http://www.siquan.org, Jiangsu Province Yangzhou City Guoqing Road Number 157 residents Jin Lanying and her sister-in-law, have--due to repeated attempts by developers to abduct them, have locked themselves into their residences behind locked metal security gates.

Last week developers hired more than 100 organized crime thugs, who used sulfuric acid gas to force the two old women from their homes. The entire road was covered in gas so that passersby could not be seen.

The two women fought back by opening liquefied gas cooking canisters and aiming them at the thugs, who ran away.

The two women then turned off the gas, and the thugs again attacked.

The above pictures were taken by observers who were shocked and saddened by this unjust and reprehensible action.
