Beijing:
Hundreds of villagers locked in a stand-off with Chinese officials held yet another demonstration at Wukan village on Wednesday even as China's Internet censors blocked searches relating to the protests over land rights.
A fresh rally was organised by the villagers chanting slogans like "Down with corrupt officials", a BBC report said on Thursday.
The row - over village land taken by the local government - has been raging since September.
In an attempt to balance their protests, they also chanted "Long live the (ruling) Communist Party", apparently to place the blame on the local officials rather than the government.
Users of the popular microblog websites like Sina Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter, said all references to Wukan village were blocked.
A message appeared saying: "According to relevant law, regulations and policies, search results for Wukan cannot be displayed," the BBC report said.
Hundreds of villagers are reportedly locked in a stand-off with security forces.
Roads into the village have been closed and are being guarded by heavily armed security personnel on one side, and villagers on the other.
Many in the village say the only way to protect themselves is uniting and speaking out.
For now, neither side seems to be willing to back off, the report said.
Villagers accuse corrupt local officials of colluding with developers and taking their land without offering compensation, it said.
