Egyptian editor jailed for actress picture

An Egyptian newspaper editor has been sentenced to a year in jail for publishing a front-page photograph of TV and film actress Hala Sidky that was adjudged to be indecent. The verdict against al-Naba editor Hatem Mamdouh Mahran was the latest in a string of rulings that have handed jail terms to at least 12 journalists since September on charges ranging from defaming the president to misquoting the minister of justice. Mahran was granted bail pending an appeal. (Via The Australian)
