OFFICIALS have promised an investigation into land sales to end days of sometimes violent protests by villagers in southern Guangdong Province who say they are being pushed off farmland for property development.
Government officials struck a compromise with leaders from Wukan village, promising a full investigation of all land sales if locals would halt the protests, according to a report in the Southern Daily newspaper posted on the website of Shanwei City, which oversees Wukan.
Villagers said they expect the investigation to expose unfair transfer of farmland to build factories.
Hundreds of villagers overturned cars, besieged government buildings and clashed with police last Wednesday and Thursday before settling into a more peaceful standoff for two more days.
