There were no major protests in the city Friday, a day after the massive protests Thursday, said Executive Deputy Mayor Zhang Hong at a press conference.
Five people have been confirmed dead and 14 others were injured and hospitalized in Thursday's protest, among the five dead, two had been confirmed as innocent civilians, while police are trying to identify the rest, Zhang said.
