By MOHMMED AMINKhartoumDozens of Sudanese journalists Wednesday demonstrated against a media law proposed by the council of ministers. The council of ministers is currently discussing a draft media law, which contains wide amendments to the 2009 version. The new law contains wide restrictions against journalists, especially the online and social media groups. The Sudanese Journalist Network (SJN) warned that the members would continue protesting until the law is discarded. The journalists further called for the adoption of the Charter of Honour, already agreed between the Sudanese journalists to regulate the media.
