Peter Doan Van Vuon's mother Mary Tran Thi Map (front row, L) and her daughter Teresa Doan Thi Map hold candles while praying for the release of her son and grandsons, before their trial next week, during Easter mass at Thai Ha church in Hanoi March 31, 2013. The case of Vuon's family in Vietnam's northern Hai Phong port city, who used landmines and guns to stop local officials from seizing their land in January 2012, has sparked rare open criticism of the authorities' strong-arm approach. Six police and soldiers had been injured in the clash, and four people – Van Vuon, his brother and two other relatives – were arrested. (Photo by Kham/Reuters)
