In India, at least 12 people were killed after police opened fire on villagers opposing the forced expropriation of farmland in West Bengal. The Indian government wants to use the land to create a tax-free industrial park for an Indonesian chemical firm. More than 500 police were deployed. Authorities had not tried to enter the area since January due to local opposition.
