Al-Ahram Prevents Printing of Weekly Paper Critical of Egyptian President

The Al-Ahram printing house prevented the Islamic weekly opposition paper, Sout al-Ummah, from publishing an article critical of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, according to the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information.

The paper was eventually printed once the editorial critical of the president's stance in the conflict in Gaza was removed.

Al-Ahram is run by the Egyptian government and prints many publications around the country, all of which are subject to censorship.
