Sudan: Sudan Media Forum - 'The Word Will Not Be Silenced... the Truth Will Not Be Buried...'

[Dabanga] The Sudan Media Forum (SMF) coalition of independent media outlets and organisations has expressed its deep concern regarding the fierce campaign waged by the Sudanese authorities and their judicial bodies against a number of journalists, pointing to the exploitation of the law in opening reports with articles whose punishment reaches the death penalty, and placing unarmed journalists in the same category as those who carry weapons, in a blatant attempt to confuse matters and criminalise free speech.
