Protesters in China village shot by cops
Authorities have surrounded and sealed off a village in southern China where police fatally shot protesters in a dispute over land use this week, villagers said yesterday.
Thousands of people took part in Tuesday's demonstration in Dongzhou, a village in Guangdong province, international rights groups said. They were anger over plans to construct a wind power plant on local land.
Police fired into the crowd, killing at least two people, the reports said. Villagers have put the number as high as 10.
