【新唐人2014年04月02日訊】因為不滿建造PX項目，廣東茂名近萬人30號上街遊行抗議。當地政府則派警暴力鎮壓，導致悲劇。有消息說，鎮壓共造成8人死亡，83人重傷住院治療。不過，事情並沒有完結，3月31號，市民再次聚集到市政府與數千警察對峙到凌晨3、4點。當局更不示弱，再次從周邊調入更多特警，甚至是坦克，使局勢更加恐怖。
30號中午，上萬市民持反PX標語遊行到市政府，但當局早就出動上千名手持盾牌的武警、特警和裝甲車到場戒備。
但是到了下午4點，警方在毫無預警的情況下突然暴力清場，見人就打，多名示威者被打得頭破血流。
當局的暴力行動，並沒有瓦解和嚇到民眾。
當天傍晚，數千市民再次集結到市政府附近街道。
到晚上形勢更為惡化，警、民雙方發生激烈衝突：警方不斷施放催淚彈、煙霧彈和發射高壓水炮，甚至將催淚彈打進剛結束晚自習出來的學生人群裡。民眾也用石頭、磚塊還擊，數輛警車被掀翻、焚燒。
據網上消息說：30號晚的鎮壓共造成8人死亡，重傷入院83人，輕傷者則超過200人。
網友秀才江湖：「這就是黑社會，他們是黑社會。雖然穿上制服，他們還是黑社會。不能把一個帶上帽子的猴子稱作人類，也不能把穿制服的黑社會稱作警察。」
茂名市政府在清場後發佈公告說，少數市民示威是受個別不法份子挑唆後在晚間鬧事，但警方果斷處置，事件中無人死亡。
茂名當局還指控遊行者嚴重違法。
在內地媒體，茂名事件在各大網站和網上論壇不僅看不到任何消息，微博還一度禁搜「茂名」，甚至拼音「maoming」。
但香港《蘋果日報》的爆料熱線，卻被茂名事件擠爆，很多茂名人「跨境」求助。他們向《蘋果》表示，茂名人遭到了恐怖鎮壓。
在茂名出差的一名香港人，在經歷了5小時警察暴力清場後在社交網站「臉書」上寫道：「警察又開槍，人被打到吐血。讓我體會到共產黨恐怖的一面。」
3月31號中午，茂名市民再次聚集到市政府，與數千警察對峙到4月1號凌晨3、4點。
廣東茂名市政府附近居民陳女士表示，晚上她看到警察發射了催淚彈、打人，還抓了很多人。
廣東茂名市政府附近居民陳女士：「武警看到有多人聚集就打，到處驅趕、放催淚彈。茂名周邊、信宜、高州全部兵力拉過來，廣州那邊坦克也下來了，今天有抗議但是比較少了。」
陳女士說，目前茂名市對外通路都有警察站崗，高速路和市政府附近街道都被封鎖。
網上消息顯示，31號下午，茂名市政府又從周邊地區調來了6大巴士的特警兵力，連坦克也開來了。讓人感到恐怖氣氛。
北京憲政學者陳永苗指出，中共從49年以來，在民眾面前是以殖民者的姿態出現的，一直沒有變過，一直也都是強力鎮壓。它們對普通民眾也不會像對知識份子那樣去收買。
北京憲政學者陳永苗：「它的這種統治，它一定是建立在暴力的基礎上的、坦克的基礎上，它一直都是通過殺人然後來震懾民眾。他知道民眾比知識份子看起來力量更加嚴實一點，那麼，它只有更加暴力一點。」
4月1號白天，約300人在廣州市東風中路附近，進行了反PX遊行。期間來自茂名的青年打出了抗爭的訴求橫幅和標語。但示威者也和抓捕警察發生了衝突，有一些示威者被抓進警車。
據網上消息說，目前茂名有8所中學的學生靜坐抗議並已經罷課，而《蘋果日報》也披露，市民準備在4號全城罷工。
看來，茂名的抗爭被坦克所平息。而微博傳出：上級領導已下達死命令，如果PX專案無法在茂名落地生根，市長及市委書記就要下臺。茂名所有公務員及單位職工都已簽字表示不會反對！網友感嘆﹕茂名去哪裏了？媒體去哪裏了？真相去哪兒了？正義去哪裏了？ 良心去哪兒了？

Maoming Police Suppress Protestors With Tanks
On March 30,nearly 10,000 people took to the
streets in Maoming City,Guangdong Province,to protest against the PX construction project.
The local government sent police
to violently suppress the protests.
Sources report that 8 people were killed,and 83 injured.
However,this did not have the outcome of ending protests.
On March 31,people again gathered at the municipal
compound in a standoff with police until around 4 a.m.
Authorities did not yield, and transferred more
SWAT police to the site,which included tanks.
This increased the tension in the situation.
On March 30,at around noon, over 10,000 people
marched to Maoming City Hall,with banners.
The authorities dispatched thousands of armed police,
special police and armored vehicles to the scene.
At around 4 p.m.,the police suddenly used violence and
began beating protestors,with many severely injured.
The violence shown by the authorities did not deter protestors.
On the same evening,thousands of people again gathered
in the streets close to the city government compound.
The situation worsened during the evening,
when police and protestors clashed again.
The police continued to use tear gas, smoke
bombs and launched high-pressure water cannons.
They even shot tear gas at students who were
traveling home after finishing night classes.
Protestors used stones and bricks to fight back, and
several police vehicles were overturned and burned.
According to online news,the repression
on the evening of March 30 caused eight deaths.
83 people were hospitalized with serious injuries
and a further 200 people sustained minor injuries.
One netizen stated:"This is the underworld.
They are the underworld wearing uniforms.
We cannot mistake a monkey with a hat as a human being.
We cannot think of this uniformed underworld as the police."
Maoming Municipal Government announced after the
clearance that a small number of demonstrators were
instigated by criminals to make trouble in the evening.
They reported that police responded
quickly and no one died in the incident.
Maoming authorities also claimed
that the demonstrations were illegal.
These events were not reported in any major Chinese media,
and the search term"Maoming"is banned on microblogs.
Hong Kong’s Apple Daily news hotline crashed,
as it was overloaded with users accessing
information about the Maoming events.
Many people in Maoming asked for help to"cross the
border,"telling Apple Daily that they had been repressed.
A HK resident on a business trip to Maoming
wrote on Facebook about his five-hour experience
witnessing the violent clearance by police.
“The police fired at people. Some were vomiting and spitting
out blood.I realized the terror of the Communist regime."
At noon on March 31,people in Maoming
gathered again at the city government compound.
They confronted thousands of police
until around 3 or 4 a.m.the following day.
Ms. Chen,who lives near the city government compound,
said that she saw police firing tear gas and beating people.
They also arrested a lot of people.
Ms.Chen:"Armed police beat people if they gathered
together,chasing people everywhere and shooting tear gas.
They also gathered all police from places
around Maoming, such as Xinyi and Gaozhou.
Tanks from Guangzhou came over as well.
Today,there are still protestors,but not as many."
Ms Chan said police were at the
roads leading in and out of Maoming.
Highways and streets near the
government compound are blocked.
Online information shows that on March 31,the
Maoming government transferred six bus loads
of special force officers and tanks from other areas.
People described feeling the terror in the air.
Chen Yongmiao,Beijing political expert, describes how
the Chinese Communist Party(CCP)has been acting as
a dictator in front of the public since it took power in 1949.
It has never changed,always carrying out severe repression.
It can’t buy over ordinary people like it does to intellectuals.
Chen Yongmiao:"Its regime is based on violence and
tanks.It has always been frightening people by killing.
It knows people are a little stronger than
intellectuals,so it is more violent toward them."
On April 1,about 300 people carried out protests against
PX in the vicinity of Dongfeng Road, Guangzhou City.
Youth from Maoming held banners and slogans.
These protesters also clashed with the police.
Some protesters were arrested and put into police cars.
According to online news,students from eight middle
schools in Maoming are on strike,undertaking sit-in protests.
Apple Daily also revealed that the public
is planning a city-wide strike on April 4.
It seems that the protest at Maoming
has been suppressed by tanks.
According to reports on a microblog,the
CCP leadership has issued a death order.
The mayor and party secretary would step down
if the PX project cannot happen in Maoming.
All civil servants and their employees had to
sign that they would not oppose the project.
Netizens sighed:"Where did Maoming go?
Where did the media go?Where did the
truth go? Where did righteousness go?"
