Hundreds of residents of the village of Wukan once again took to the streets on Saturday, blocking a public highway in southern China’s Guangdong Province. <br /><br />According to villagers, police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, and four protesters were detained. The families of those in custody didn’t know where they were being held. <br /><br />Villagers said officials were stalling on the restoration of farmland sold for development by former Communist Party village chief Xue Chang. <br /><br />However, residents said they saw strangers in a crowd of people who protested outside the village committee on Friday. Some villagers believe the protests were incited by political allies of Xue Chang to overthrow the committee. <br /><br />Xue Chang and local Communist Party officials were ousted in December 2011 following a series of peaceful protests by Wukan residents. Surprisingly, the villagers were then allowed to elect their own village committee, which took over in March 2012. <br /><br />For more news and videos visit ➡ http://english.ntdtv.com <br />Follow us on Twitter ➡ http://twitter.com/NTDTelevision <br />Add us on Facebook ➡ http://on.fb.me/s5KV2C
