On June 29, 10,000 Chongqing protestors clashed with police after local authorities failed to deal with the stabbing to death of a Form One student. At least four people were reportedly arrested and more than 10 injured in the clash. A blogger said there was a delay in the rescue of the student. The alleged perpetrators of the murder, also students, were reportedly released soon after questioning because they were too young to be charged.
