HANOI -- Villagers in the Vietnamese capital are holding dozens of policemen in a land dispute in a rare defiance of the communist government.
The standoff began over the weekend in the suburban district of My Duc when police clashed with villagers who allege their land was illegally seized for sale by a military-run telecoms firm. Some villagers were arrested.
Online newspaper Vnexpress reported that more than 30 people, many of them riot police, have been held by villagers.
