Rachid Ninni, the managing editor of a daily paper in Morocco, Al Massae, has been ordered by a Rabat court to pay 6m dirhams (£410,000) to four prosecutors after being convicted of libelling them. The prosecutors sued the paper after one was accused of sexual perversion in a report about a gay wedding. The president of the Moroccan journalists' union said the verdict was a "death sentence for the newspaper". (Via AFP)
