23 January 2015

Khartoum — El Midan newspaper was confiscated again on Thursday, without any reason given by the security authorities. This is the eight time this month. El Midan had organised a speech festival at its head office, aimed against the security's control over newspapers.

The festival this week was attended by journalists, lawyers, and representatives of political parties.
