广州综合讯）尽管当局已答应暂停兴建发电厂，汕头市海门镇昨天仍有数百名居民与警方对峙。
官方新华社报道，广东汕头海门镇民众昨天继续反对华电丰盛汕头电厂发电项目，约500至600名群众到深汕高速公路海门收费站抗议，周围约2000名民众聚集。
有媒体报道指，警方曾施放数枚催泪弹驱散群众，现场烟雾弥漫，民众四处躲避。公安又一度走向人群，他们带上头盔，手持盾牌，有公安手持扬声器，呼吁民众散开。
另据香港《东方日报》报道，海门镇政府官员昨天傍晚据报向民众对话，重申不会再兴建发电厂，又呼吁被捕者的家属直接与政府联络，民众其后开始散去。同时，汕头市潮阳区政府昨天再次发声明重申，市委市政府本周三已决定停止华电新燃煤发电厂项目的前期工作，至于华电项目是否落实，还要依法举行听证会。
当局呼吁民众不要参与一切违法犯罪活动，确保社会大局和谐稳定。Read more…
