Mass protest at Jishou Railway
On Thursday, nearly 10,000 protestors gathered at Shouji Station in Jishou City, Hunan Province. Masses of people stood on the tracks, blocking trains.

Mainland Internet users posted images over the Internet at 1:00 pm on the 4th, showing that authorities had dispatched a large number of personnel wearing camouflage uniforms and armed with batons and shields who surrounded protestors on the rail tracks.
