Chinese police allegedly shot dead two Yunnan villagers on April 20 amid a land dispute between villagers and a mining company. It was reported that riot police were deployed to the locale after 100 villagers clashed with Zijin Mining workers over the company's offers of compensation and relocations for buying up small mines. Twenty people were also wounded in the incident, and an unidentified police official told a Hong Kong newspaper that the shootings were in self-defense and that just one person was killed.
