Egypt: Wednesday, February 20 - 2008 at 08:52
Egypt has forbidden the sale of four international newspapers for printing pictures 'offensive to the prophet Mohammed', reported AFP, citing the official Mena news agency. The decree, issued by Information Minister Anas al-Fiqi, bans the sale of Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Die Welt, Britain's Observer and the US Wall Street Journal. It was not immediately clear which day's editions were banned. Last week, at least 17 Danish newspapers published a controversial cartoon featuring prophet Mohammed wearing a turban that looked like a bomb with a lit fuse, vowing to defend freedom of expression a day after Danish police said they had foiled a plot to murder the cartoonist.
