Protesters clash with police in China over land requisitions

“Up to 100,000 farmers clashed with police in south-west China, protesting against compensation payments for farmland requisitioned to make way for a hydroelectric plant, local residents and reports said.

Unrest at the Pubugou hydroelectric project on the Dadu river in Sichuan province began last Thursday and peaked on Friday when locals marched on the Hanyuan county government offices carrying the corpse of a dead protester, Hong Kong’s Sun Daily said. ”

The full report is on Australia’s ABC News Online.
