 An Iranian reformist newspaper has been banned by the press watchdog on grounds of taking too long to name a new managing editor, student news agency ISNA reported on Monday. “The publication of the Hambastegi newspaper was banned by the press watchdog commission based on Article 14 of the press law,” the judiciary’s representative on the commission Nasser Seraj said, adding that the article was applied to the newspaper because newspapers were obliged to name a replacement within three months of the death or resignation of their managing editor. |
