Sudan: CPJ accuses Sudan of cracking down on press

The authorities in Sudan must stop their crackdown on press coverage of the ongoing protests in Khartoum and allow the media to report independently without fear of retaliation, the media watchdog, Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), has said. In statement it said two journalists had been detained without charge, while the whereabouts of a third are unknown, although local news accounts said the reporter may be in state custody.
