\nFrom Reuters.com<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

\nA climate of fear has gripped a South China fishing town as villagers evade patrols and defy a police campaign to encourage them to denounce their neighbours in the wake of a bloody crackdown two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

A cordon of checkpoints has virtually isolated the town of Dongzhou, where police put down protests over a government land grab on December 6, killing at least three people.<\/p>\n
