7月31日，云南省昭通市昭阳区永丰镇绿荫村簸箕湾，当地政府出动大量政府人员强抢村民土地，打伤多人，之后又抓捕了数名到当地政府讨说法的村民。据村民透露，被抢土地在2012年就曾被当地政府通过暴力强行承包过。当天，当地政府在尚未支付13年前拖欠的四千多万承包费的情况下，再次使用暴力，抢走了土地。
On July 31, in Bojiwan, Lvyin Village, Yongfeng Town, Zhaoyang District, Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, the local authorities dispatched a large number of personnel to forcibly seize villagers’ land, injuring many. They later arrested several villagers who went to the local government to demand an explanation. According to villagers, the seized land had already been violently and forcibly contracted out by the local authorities in 2012. On that day, without having paid the more than 40 million yuan in contracting fees owed for 13 years, the local authorities again resorted to violence to take the land.
