Sudan jails journalist for reporting alleged rape
• RawstoryA Sudanese journalist was jailed for a month on Tuesday, and her
editor fined, for publishing reports on the alleged rape of a female
opposition activist by security force personnel, their lawyer said.
Fatima Ghazali is the first of several journalists to be tried for articles they wrote about Safiya Ishaq, a youth activist who claimed in videos posted online that she was raped repeatedly by three security officers after her arrest in Khartoum in February.
Ishaq has since fled the country.
