Khartoum: Sudanese security have banned two newspapers from publishing after they protested against draconian censorship measures and arrests of journalists.
National security agents summoned staff from Ajras Al Hurriya and Ray Al Shab as the dailies were due to resume publication after a self-imposed three-day strike, newspaper executives said.
The editors have accused the dominant National Congress Party of trying to silence opposition in the run-up to elections in 2009.
