Dubai newspaper begins 20-day suspension

  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, July 07 - 2009 at 13:48

The UAE's Arabic-language newspaper Al Emarat Al Youm suspended publication yesterday for 20 days in compliance with a court ruling after being sued for a story alleging some of the Abu Dhabi ruling family's horses were doped. The suspension was issued last week by the Abu Dhabi Federal Supreme Court, which is the highest court of the Emirates. The court also imposed fines of Dhs20,000 ($5,445) on the paper's editor and chief executive.
