“Villagers in Leping, Jiangxi Clash with Police After Detaining Deputy Township Head (2025.10.14)”
On the evening of October 14, in Huajia Village, Zhenqiao Town, Leping City, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, a clash broke out between protesting villagers and the police, during which several villagers were beaten.
Huajia Village, located along the Le’an River, has recently been at the center of a dispute after the village committee allegedly sold collectively owned riverside land for the construction of a dock without villagers’ consent. In response, hundreds of villagers launched a rights defense action in late September, gathering day and night on the disputed land to prevent the dock’s construction.
The land in question lies across the Le’an River, forcing villagers to cross by boat each day to continue their protest. In an apparent attempt to stop them, the local government recently shut down the ferry service across the river. On October 14, government enforcers reportedly seized the villagers’ small boats, sparking outrage. Villagers then surrounded and detained a man identified as the “deputy township head.”
That night, a large number of police entered Huajia Village, demanding that villagers release the deputy township head. A confrontation ensued, and according to witnesses, several villagers were beaten during the clash. The standoff ended only after officials promised to return the confiscated fishing boats the following day, allowing the deputy township head to leave.
As of October 16, the villagers of Huajia continue their rights defense action.
