Hidden as a little “squib” on p. 5 of the N.Y. Times of April 4, 2013, is a dispatch entitled Vietnam Farmers Sentenced to Prison For Resisting Eviction From Their Land. It reports that a family of Vietnamese fish farmers resorted to violence (using homemade guns and land mines) to protect their land from seizure by a state eviction squad.

Nonetheless, the farmers were sentenced to two to five year prison terms, for attempted murder.
