Two Sudanese journalists from the independent Al-Sudani newspaper have been jailed after refusing to pay a fine for writing about the arrest of other journalists. Editor Mahjoub Ourwa and his deputy Noureddine Madani had been ordered to pay a 10,000 Sudanese pounds (about £2,500) fine, or face two months in prison. They were convicted of libel for criticising the arrest of four journalists trying to cover protests against the building of dam. (Via Sapa/AFP)
