Shenzhen authorities have taken measures against a number of residents for protesting the construction of the new Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor. About 500 villagers have been organizing protests against the construction, which could take place less than 90 meters from some of their homes, at the municipal government building since last October. As a result, a dozen village representatives were indicted on "disrupting social order" or "organizing illegal demonstration" charges.
