A mass protest erupted on a campus in the northern Chinese province of Shaanxi, following the mysterious death of a 17-year-old student at a vocational school. Videos circulating online show heavily armed police using batons, kicking protesters and deploying tear gas to disperse the crowds. Officials in Shaanxi’s Pucheng county have launched a probe into the death of the student following a “verbal and physical altercation” with a roommate, after thousands of angry citizens gathered outside the school.
