Sudan daily closed down
May 17, 2007 (KHARTOUM) — Sudanese authorities have closed down an independent newspaper, Al-Sudani, after the justice minister complained of defamation, an executive of the daily said on Thursday.
Deputy chief editor Nureddine Medani told AFP the plates for the latest edition were confiscated on Wednesday night.
The paper’s directors were told it was being suspended indefinitely pending investigation of a complaint from Justice Minister Mohamed Ali al-Mardhi for defamation, he said.
A column in the newspaper, which has been the subject of several bans, called on Wednesday for the minister to resign over a money-laundering case being examined in the courts.
