Sudanese Authorities Urged Not to Introduce "Censorship Bureau"

press release

Reporters Without Borders urges the Sudanese authorities not to carry out a newly announced plan for prior censorship of the print media.

Information minister Ahmed Bilal Osmanan announced on 21 May that a "special commission" would soon be created to examine all proposed articles about corruption to decide whether or not they can be published. The commission would be under his ministry's supervision and would consist of members of the president's office, the government and parliament, he said.
