Zhou Zhirong (周志荣), who organized a protest at Tiananmen Square last month of 32 displaced farmers, has been detained by police. Zhou was acting as a representative for immigrants from the Chibi Reservoir area in Hubei Province, who had been displaced from their homes last year. The 32 farmers knelt in Tiananmen Square and cried in protest of their situation for 10 minutes on September 26. Zhou’s friend and fellow protestor Hong Yunzhou (洪运周) was also summoned by police and has been missing for more than 10 days.
