About a dozen women, most older than 80, camped in a tent next to a disputed village road in Jiangsu province for two days last week to protest "forced land acquisition".

The women, from Sanyou village, Dongkan town, in Binhai county, said a local company was attempting to acquire a stretch of road, which leads to the nearest market, China News Service reported.

The report said the company had reached an agreement with the local government and villagers to take over 1.8 hectares of land in Sanyou village to set up its workshops.
