Demonstrators surrounded a government building and blocked a road in the town of Haimen in Guangdong province.

Online accounts say two people died during clashes with police. A Chinese official has denied the claims.

Meanwhile, a separate protest over seized farmland and the death of an activist in police custody has ended in Wukan village, also in Guandong province.
