MAUBIN, Myanmar: A policeman was killed and more than a dozen farmers wounded - some by gunfire - during a protest over land ownership in Myanmar's Delta region, activists and police said Wednesday.
They said 26 police were also injured during Tuesday night's demonstration, in which farmers demanded the return of 500 acres (200 hectares) of land in the Irrawaddy Delta which they say was seized by the military government in 1996.
