KHARTOUM, Sudan - Two Sudanese daily newspapers said Tuesday that they would suspend publication for three days and that their journalists would go on a 24-hour hunger strike to protest state censorship.
The journalists said they were resisting a mounting crackdown on freedom of expression ahead of elections expected next year.
Salah Kajam, publisher of the independent Ajras al-Hurria, said state agents regularly removed articles critical of the government and reports of violence in Darfur, among other things.
