Women fix fishing nets near a jetty located on the outskirts of the village of Wukan in Lufeng county, Guangdong province December 19, 2011. Residents of the village in southern China who staged an uprising over land and a suspicious death said on Monday they would not buckle, despite rumours that riot police were poised to quell their protest that has upstaged the ruling Communist Party. For a week, the semi-urban village of Wukan in Guangdong province has driven off officials and police, and held daily protests attracting thousands of residents outraged by the death in custody of Xue Jinbo, an organiser of a months-long campaign over former farmland that residents say was taken illegally.
