Algeria Dailies Suspended

The Algerian government suspended 6 or 7 (conflicting reports) dailies 18 August. This acccount is from a paid site. The reason given involves alleged non-payment of bills at the state printing house. The World Association has protested the action in a letter to the President, as this report details. The International Federation of Journalists has also protested, as reported here.
