Judges order Time to pay £52m for defaming Suharto

Time magazine has been ordered to pay a fine of £52m for defaming Indonesia's former dictator, Suharto. A magazine cover story in 1999 alleged that Suharto's family amassed billions of dollars during his 32-year rule, which ended in 1998 amid riots and pro-democracy protests. Three supreme court judges in Jakarta, also ordered Time and six of its staff to apologise in several magazines and newspapers. One final appeal is still possible. (Via ABC News/AP)
