Vietnamese riot police prevent a Catholic woman from accessing the main road where their church members' appeal is judged in Hanoi, Vietnam, Friday. Eight Vietnamese Roman Catholics asked an appeals court Friday to overturn their convictions for disturbing public order and damaging property during a series of demonstrations last year to demand the return of former church lands.
