Sudan's public prosecution has launched legal proceedings against a prominent newspaper and the bar association, triggering complaints that authorities are trying to restrict basic freedoms nearly a year after a coup.
On Monday, the public prosecution's cyber crimes unit issued an order to block the website of Al-Sudani newspaper, one of the country's most respected dailies.
A day earlier, the prosecution called the head of the steering committee for the Sudanese Bar Association in for questioning, and ordered the seizure of its headquarters, a lawyer for the group said.
