◇500 protest in Beijing over air pollution
TAIPEI -- About 500 citizens staged a demonstration in Beijing on Aug. 30 to protest air pollution triggered by a large disposal facility, a Hong Kong-based human rights group said.
The group said that about 500 residents of Beijing joined the march on Aug. 30, demanding the resignation of a local environment official.
Air pollution in Beijing has reportedly rapidly worsened after the end of the Beijing Olympic Games on Aug. 24.
Two protesters were injured as demonstrators clashed with public security authorities, while another has gone missing, leading to suspicions that the protester may have been apprehended. Authorities foiled another larger-scale demonstration that had been slated for Aug. 31.
According to the group, the demonstration was staged in the Chaoyang District, which is home to the Beijing National Stadium (The Bird's Nest) -- the main venue of the Beijing Olympics.
Local residents have been plagued by respiratory diseases and nerve disorders due to odiferous substances emitted from the large disposal facility.
