Iran newspaper banned after two months

Iran's leading reformist daily newspaper has been closed down less than two months after it was allowed to resume publishing. The Hammihan (Compatriot) was banned in 2000 by the Iranian judiciary after it called for improving Iranian ties with the United States. The decision to allow it to reopen was seen as a breath of fresh air, but the judiciary now claim there were "faults in the legal proceedings" that led to the ban being lifted. (Via ABCnews/AP)
