4) This week's summary
of under-reported news
Compiled by Bob Nixon
* On the day the Olympic torch was lit, a Chinese court sentenced dissident Yang Chunlin to five years in prison for petitioning against land seizures in northeast China. His petition opened with, "We want human rights, not the Olympics."
* Pakistan's new Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has challenged President Perez Musharraf by ordering the release of 10 judges arrested in an early November crackdown.
* Environmentalists are ringing alarm bells about Democratic frontrunners Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's embrace of so-called "clean coal" as an alternative to foreign oil.
