Seventeen Angolan activists sentenced to jail.

Seventeen Angolan activists have been sentenced to between two and eight years in jail for planning a rebellion against President Jose Eduardo dos Santos. One of them is the well-known rapper
Luaty Beirao -- also known as Ikonoklasta -- who went on a month-long hunger strike last year. The young men were arrested after they discussed a book about non-violent resistance. Their youth group also held demonstrations demanding the resignation of Mr dos Santos who has been in power in Angola for thirty-six years.
