Chinese, Afghan activists favorites for Nobel (AP)

October 8th, 2010

FILE - In this Oct. 23, 2009 file photo, pro-democracy activists hold pictures of Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, who was arrested after co-authoring a bold manifesto urging civil rights and political reform, outside the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong. Hong Kong police arrested five pro-democracy protesters after demonstrators scuffled with officers guarding the central Chinese government's local liaison office Friday, Oct. 1, 2010. The clash broke out when about 100 protesters marked National Day by marching to the liaison office denouncing Beijing's 'authoritarian rule' and demanding the release of dissident Liu, who is serving an 11-year jail term for inciting subversion. (AP Photo/Kin Cheung, File)AP - A Chinese dissident and human rights activists from Afghanistan and Russia are possible candidates for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, announced on Friday.
