Thousands of villagers protested in front of a government building in southern China in a last-ditch effort to get back farmland taken by Chinese Communist Party officials, who gave them no compensation.

The villagers-turned-demonstrators amassed in front of the municipal government building in Liantang, located in Guangdong Province’s Shantou City, saying that the land confiscation was illegal.
