AFP , BEIJING
At least 20 disgruntled protesters threatened to jump off a Beijing building in a mass suicide bid unless the State Supreme Court agreed to hear their grievances, witnesses and court officials said yesterday.
The petitioners from northeast China were among thou-sands who gathered on Monday in southern Yongdingmen district to file formal petitions over a series of issues with the court.
"In all there was a group of 50 to 60 people from northeast China, among them some 20 climbed up to the top of the building and threatened to jump," Beijing rights activist Liu Anjun (???) said.
"Up to 2,000 people gathered around the building to watch and support them, most of them were petitioners that had come to Beijing from all over the country," he said.
