Sudan seizes communist newspaper
Khartoum, 14 Mar – (ANA) - Sudanese security services have confiscated the country's Communist party newspaper, accusing it of ignoring a warning to avoid writing about the killing of a girl by police that sparked several protests, its editor said. Sudan's constitution guarantees press freedom but journalists have complained of increasing pressure from the government, particularly since the politically sensitive secession of South Sudan in July. Security services have suspended three newspapers critical of the government since the start of the year, according to editors. One of it has resumed production since then. (ANA)
