The largest unrest since the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre has been quashed in southwest China's
Weng'an County in Guizhou province. Currently a large number of paramilitary and riot police are
stationed in the county. TV stations and radio have been urging people to turn themselves in to police.

The unrest started on June 28 in reaction to the authorities' cover up of the alleged rape-murder of
a 17-year-old local female student.

On June 30, a Chinese reporter, Zhou Shuguang, arrived at the river bank in Weng'an County where the
victim, Li Shufen's, body was found. Zhou told The Epoch Times , he saw many armed forces vehicles
driving into the city. Locals warned Zhou it was dangerous to stay. Zhou took the advice and left.
