At about 7 pm, about one hundred participants came to the scene one after another, pulling up the slogan "Indiscriminately arresting and accusing unjustly pre-prisoners" and lighting the candlelight to set up the altar. The participants included Liang Guoxiong, a member of the social civil society, and Zeng Jiancheng, "A Niu". Police officers in uniform were on alert at the scene. Participants chanted slogans from time to time, and some participants held up the five-character gesture toward the reception center, and turned on the mobile phone lights and waved.
