Description

Guangdong police have arrested three activists, one of them a Hong Kong resident, for organising protests over a planned incinerator in Huizhou .
The Huiyang district police bureau said in an online statement yesterday that the three detainees were suspected of "disrupting social order by attempting to mobilise several thousand villagers to demonstrate in front of local government buildings".
A Beijing-based environmentalist who has studied mainland incinerator projects, and who wished to remain anony-mous, said that Pan Yu, a Hong Kong resident, was arrested on August 30 during a trip to Shenzhen.
