Later, they arrested dozens of villagers and their legal advisors, and closed down a web forum on the continuing confrontation between petitioners with regional officials and police who opposed the removal of Chen. Authorities seized a village accounts book that was intended to serve as evidence for embezzlement. The conflict drew nationwide attention, and was leading Western observers to doubt whether the Chinese Communist Party would be willing to allow a higher level of democracy. (en)
