【新唐人2011年12月21日讯】乌坎村民召开集体大会，决定冲出村庄，前往市政府上访，预计近万人参加。他们除要求政府交还猝死村代表薛锦波遗体、释放四名被羁押村民外，并呼吁中央政府介入调查。乌坎村民抗暴行动已形成示范效应，示威浪潮席卷粤东。除日前陆丰龙头村仿效乌坎外，还有几个村正在酝酿维权抗争。
一位不愿具名的村民表示，乌坎村民召开集体大会商议，决定21号突围前往市政府上访，队伍将抬着空棺材去要村代表薛锦波的遗体，确定有上万名村民参加，估计到时还有外地村民加入，村民会手绑白布、戴白花，手持彩旗、横额，沿途喊口号。
村民A：“基本上可以确定下来了，如果他（当局）21号之前没有什么答复的话，可能21号会..会上访市政府，是这样子，基本是已经定下来了，死者的棺材也买回来了今天下午，到时会抬着棺材到市政府去要遗体，要求他们放人啊，给我们答复。”
目前乌坎村被当局封村，物资短缺，不少外地乡亲纷纷捐助粮食、食油，乌坎周边21个村的村长及村支部书记，19号早上也入村了解情况。
村民B：“昨天开始那些邻乡啊，隔壁乡啊，都出来赞助那个粮食。”
警方软硬兼施让村民放弃抗争，并要胁将抓捕薛锦波家属。
村民指出，当局电告薛锦波的家属，威胁要把他们家人都抓起来。市领导说，抓到临时代表将就地枪决，其他人都送青海去﹔还恐吓，武警随时会冲入村里。
乌坎村民人心惶惶，很多小孩已被吓病。每晚，有近百人在多个哨岗通宵监视武警举动，怕他们夜袭乌坎。
而乌坎的抗争，已形成示范效应，示威浪潮蔓延粤东。
除陆丰龙头村日前超过千人效仿乌坎游行示威外，同时，乌坎周边村庄如龙光村、白篮村及崎砂村等，也相继酝酿维权抗争活动。
汕头澄海溪南镇也爆发村民示威，上千上岱美村村民18号上街游行，游行队伍手持写有“我们觉醒了，上岱美村民维权来了”、“官逼民无奈”、 “官风不端正”等字样的彩旗、横额游行示威，抗议官员私卖土地。
据报导，溪南镇当局向上级要求警力支援，澄海区政府回复：因汕头各防暴队伍大批警力已被抽调至汕尾增援，无力应对。
20号上午，广东汕头海门镇上千民众抗议兴建电厂，示威民众占领了镇政府大楼。目击者说，深汕高速被封堵，有几万人出现在路上﹔警车被掀﹔地方店铺纷纷关闭。
继17号广州网民集会声援乌坎后，深圳大学生19号也发起声援行动，在街头手举“关注同胞、声援乌坎”等标语。香港支联会、民间团体也举行了声援乌坎村民的示威活动﹔另有许多网民也纷纷在互联网发贴声援乌坎。
海外数以百计的媒体也在热切关注来自乌坎村民的抗争报导，可是大陆的媒体一片静默。
中国问题专家教授胡星斗向媒体表示，中国已进入风险期，如果中央不采取措施，社会动荡问题将不断恶化。而遍布各城市的两亿民工，也将会成为农村父老的坚强后盾，局势更难控制。

10,000 Wukan Villagers Plan Petition, Protests Sweep East Guangdong
Wukan villagers decided to go out of the village and go to
the city hall when they had an assembly.
It’s estimated that there will be 10,000 villagers
joining the petition.
They will ask the local government to return the body of
the dead villagers’ representative, Xue Jinbo, and to release the other 4 villagers,
and also will ask central government to be involved in
the investigation.
Now, Wukan villagers have formed an anti-violence movement,
the protest is sweeping the east part of Guangdong Province.
Including Longtou Village, Lufeng County, many villages have
started or are prepared to protect their rights.
An anonymous Wukan villager said, Wukan village assembly
decided to break the block by the soldiers and police,
and to go to the county hall on Dec. 21.
They plan to carry an empty coffin which is prepared
for holding the body of Xue Jingbo.
So far it’s confirmed that there will be 10,000 villagers joining
the petition, and it’s estimated that villagers from other villages will also join the petition.
Villagers will tie white cloths on their hands, wear white flower
on the coat, hold flags and banners and shout slogans along the way.
Villager A says: “Basically it’s confirmed. If the government
hasn’t answered before Dec. 21, we may petition the city hall.
Basically it has been decided. We brought the coffin this
afternoon, and will carry it to city hall to ask for the body.
We will ask them to release the villagers and give us the answer.”
Currently Wukan village is sealed by the authorities,
which has led to a shortage of materials.
Many from other places have donated grain, cooking oil, etc.
to Wukan, and party secretaries from 21 other villages came there on Dec. 19 to find out the situation.
Villager B says: “Starting from yesterday, neighboring
townships donated grain to us.”
The Police used both “carrot and stick” to convince the
villagers to give up the protest, and have threatened to arrest Xue Jinbo’s family members.
Villagers pointed out that the authorities have threatened
Xue’s family on the phone that they will arrest them.
The officials from the city have also said that they will shoot
temporary representatives dead, and will send others to Qinghai.
The villagers also were threatened that the armed police could
break into the village at any time.
Wukan villagers are in a panic, many children have been
scared sick.
In the night, nearly a hundred villagers stayed in several
positions to monitor the action of the armed police.
They are afraid that they will carry out a night raid.
But Wukan’s action has been a demonstration to others.
The protest wave is spreading in East Guangdong.
In Longtou Village of Lufeng County, there has been a protest
that had more than one thousand protesters.
Including from village of Longguang, Bailan and Qisha,
There are many villages next to Wukan preparing for protests.
Xinan town Denghai district of Shantou has a village protest.
Nearly a thousand villagers from Shangdaimei village protested on Dec. 18.
The protesters hold flags and banners that are marked
“We Are Waking Up! Shangdaimei Villagers are Protecting Their Rights”,
“Under Official Force, Citizens are Helpless”,
“Official Attitude isn’t Correct”.
They blamed the officials who sold the land
without villagers’ permission.
It’s reported that Xinan town government has asked for
reinforcement, but Chenghai district government answered that,
since most of the armed police are in Shanwei city,
Chenghai district authorities are unable to deal with the protest.
On the morning of Dec.20, thousands of demonstrators were
protesting against government plans to build a power plant in Haimen town Shantou city.
The demonstrators occupied the town’s government building.
Witnesses said, the high road from Shenzhen to Shantou was
blocked and that there are tens of thousands protesters in the road.
The Police cars were turned over, and shops were closed.
Following this, Guangzhou netizens assembled on Dec. 17 to
support Wukan, Shenzhen university’s ‘ students also organized activities to support Wukan.
They hold banners with the slogan “Concerned and Supporting
the Villagers of Wukan”.
There have also been supporting activities by Hong Kong Alliance,
civil organizations and so on.
Netizens have also posted many articles on line to support Wukan.
When there’s hundreds of international media are deeply
focused on the progress in Wukan, there’s no local media report anything about Wukan in China.
Professor Hu Xingdou, a Chinese issues’ expert has told media,
that China has entered a risk period.
If the central government doesn’t take any action,
social unrest issues will become worse and worse.
The 200 million farmer-workers inside China’s cities are the
potential supporters to their rural family.
If that they protest, the situation will be more complicated.
