There they clashed with a large number of special police at the scene, a number of parents were injured and at least three people were arrested.
A parent at the scene said in an interview, “Yesterday there were about two hundred parents at the court and I do not why the special police came, there were many of them. They beat up one parent first, they pulled her hair and as she was fell to the floor, her husband went to help as well as other parents, but the special police arrest them and put them in the police car. A man has been wounded and was sent to the hospital. About four parents were arrested, we then demand the Government to release the parents that were arrested.”

Another parent from that school, Mr He also confirmed the news of the parent’s arrest during the petition “Yesterday, the reason for petition was because the school building collapsed and there seemed to be several people arrested.”

An official from Dujiangyan earthquake relief press, Mr Ma said that he had not heard of the news when the Sound of Hope reporter asked him.

The publication attracted widespread attacks by internet users.

The May 12 earthquake in Sichuan brought down schools leaving tens of thousands of students dead under rubble. In recent days, parents have continued their protests to Government departments demanding an investigation into the “blackhand behind shoddy constructions”. With immense community pressure, the Chinese communist regime says it will investigate and handle the incidents appropriately.

However, in the 5 causes behind the collapses published by the Sichuan Education Department, there was no mention of construction quality and government responsibility. Many bloggers are angry claiming officials are trying to shirk responsibility, with one saying that “this is the most despicable, do they really think they can muddle through this like this?”

Another blogger said that until now, officials are still trying to dodge responsibility and fool the public. If these officials cant see clearly, then they need to step down.” Another said that “you need to over-estimate the intelligence of these bureaucrats, but don’t underestimate their contemptibility.” One blogger called on officials to honestly record history and collect evidence, not for the purpose of holding any one in particular responsible, but because the truth can be hidden too easily, bad deeds are covered up too easily and history can be changed to easily.”

Professor Shan Deyen from Beijing University’s School of Economics pointed out during an interview that the officials were toying with human lives when they withheld earthquake warnings.

Professor Sun Wenguang from Shandong University called for the media to report the truth, allowing the public to see clearly the root of the disaster and not to be fooled by officials.
