Chinese officials reportedly tried to censor a World Bank document that found filthy air and water prematurely kill 750,000 people every year in China. But in China it's not enough to live in this toxic environment. Here you face arrest if you speak out against it. Xu Xie Hua's husband, a well known environmentalist, was taken away by police when they they broke into their home at night. "I haven't seen him for two months - not since they took him away," Mrs Xu said. "I miss him. His shadow is everywhere. All I can do is fight to clear his name." She knows that won't be easy. Now plainclothes police sit in her garden round the clock, watching her. Fear and intimidation are the price you pay for daring to raise your voice against the destruction of China's environment. news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91210-1275330,00.html
