From the China Digital Times on the arrest of Wu Xin and others concerning a public protest of a petrochemical project in the city of Chengdu:
The police seriously urge people to be aware of national laws and regulations and to observe them, not to create or disseminate rumors through the Internet or through cell phone text messages, otherwise the police will carry out strict monitoring and control mechanisms. We will carry out punishment according to law for each case we discover; absolutely no soft treatment will be granted.
The police severely warn those who intend to disturb social stability by instigating unrest and organizing illegal assemblies to stop their criminal activities.
Beyond comment.
