Ethnic Mongolians seething over the killings of two Mongolians by Han Chinese drivers took their anger to the streets of the capital of Inner Mongolia on Monday in a rare expression of anti-government sentiment here. The protests, which drew more than 100 people to the center of Hohhot and led to a series of arrests, followed a week of similar demonstrations across this vast borderland that have rattled the authorities.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The rally took place on the same day that Chinese officials announced they would file murder charges against a forklift driver accused of striking and killing Yan Wenlong, who was among 20 people protesting a coal mine near Xilinhot on May 15. The deaths of Mr. Yan and of another activist killed by a truck driver five days earlier have galvanized anger over the destruction of the Mongolian grasslands and stoked long-simmering resentment over Beijing\u2019s governance of this resource-rich region. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, the state-run news media reported that Inner Mongolia\u2019s Communist Party secretary, Hu Chunhua, had met with students and teachers and promised justice in the killing of the other activist, named Mergen, a herder whose body was reported to have been dragged nearly 500 feet. Two Han Chinese have been arrested in connection with the death.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
