Iran bans paper for economic reporting

Iran has banned the publication of a daily paper, Hamshahri, for publishing news the government deemed to be harmful to the economy. The paper is owned by the Tehran municipality, which is run by the mayor, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, a political rival of President Ahmadinejad. It is the second daily in just over a month to be banned for economic reporting. (Via Gulf News)
