A slum housing thousands of petitioners in Fengtai, Beijing will be demolished to make way for a new road, according to official notices. The announcements were posted throughout the petition village to warn residents to leave by September 19th. The local government has stated that residents will be compensated. However, the demolition is likely to affect 4,000 people, including petitioners who fear that they will become homeless since they cannot afford to live elsewhere. Since petitioner numbers tend to increase ahead of important political events, it is speculated that the demolition is scheduled to take place before the upcoming October Party Congress.
