Police close 'illegal' Chinese paper

Police have closed a Chinese newspaper, Social News, claiming it was unlicensed, and have arrested its founder and chief correspondent, Gao Yang. Though it has been published for two years, the authorities only moved against the paper after it reported an alleged miscarriage of justice. Gao is likely to be charged with fraud, and with publishing and distributing illegal publications. (Via People's Daily/Xinhua)
