Protestors against government mishandling of scandals over faulty vaccines faced swift police response after trying to demonstrate on Tiananmen Square during the China-Africa Summit on September 3-4. Police detained, disappeared, put under house arrest many individuals. The protestors were made up victims of faulty vaccinations, which were believed to have caused permanent health damage, as well as their parents and supporters. They had travelled to the capital to draw attention to the problems and urge national legislators to tighten regulations making vaccines safer. One of the detainees was Zou Wanli (邹万里), from Guangshan County, Henan, received a 10-day administrative detention for “disrupting public order” and was subsequently released.
