An outline of the article:
* Earlier this month, the sleepy fi****ng village of Dongzhou was the
scene of a deadly faceoff. Today, a stilted calm prevails, a
cover-up so carefully planned that the small town looks like a
relic from the Cultural Revolution.
* One thing seems certain: The government is doing everything
possible to prevent eyewitness accounts of what happened from
emerging.
* Residents have been warned that if they must explain the deaths
of loved ones, they should say their relatives were blown up by
their own explosives. If the family members speak this way they
are being promised 50,000 yuan [$6,193], and if not, they will be
beaten and get nothing out of it."
* The official Xinhua news agency said Saturday that only three
people had been killed and eight others injured when security
forces shot at protesters.
