Cases against Bahrain editors suspended
- Bahrain: Thursday, June 05 - 2008 at 07:36
All court cases against editors-in-chief in Bahrain will be put on hold until its high court rules on the constitutionality of an article in the country's press law, reported Gulf News. Article 74 of the 2002 Press Law says that editors-in-chief are held legally responsible, alongside journalists and columnists, for the articles and columns that are published in their newspapers. However, the article has been challenged as 'unconstitutional' by Mohammed Al Banki, the editor-in-chief of Al Watan, who is currently on trial based on charges by local actress Zainab Al Askari that articles in the daily 'questioned her honour and integrity'.
