Boxun reports that on Wednesday August 5 at the National Petitions Office, a group of petitioners from Hubei and Sichuan provinces gathered. The petitioners from Hubei have primarily come to the capital because their land was illegally requisitioned by the state. These photographs were taken at 3 p.m. Apparently this scene repeats itself every day. The petitioners have no faith in the state. They believe these petition offices are like ears on a deaf person, they have no power to resolve their complaints.
