Indian judge backs press freedom

A Gujarat high court judge has stood up for freedom of the press by warning the Ahmedabad police commissioner, O.P. Mathur, not to issue further writs for sedition against the Times of India. The judge was hearing a petition by the paper after it faced a sixth writ from the police chief following stories about his alleged connections with criminals. He said that in a democracy the press had to be protected. (Via Times of India)
