ZHENGZHOU, HENAN, CHINA – More than 10 villagers, including two Christians, were beaten during a land dispute with a commercial developer in China’s central Henan province on Wednesday, March 19.

Villagers from Lu, located in Henan’s capital city, Zhengzhou, blocked developers from beginning construction on the project because they were still waiting on authorities to issue compensation payments for this phase of construction.

As a result, tensions rose to the point of violence between the villages and several hundred employees and security from the developer.
