Another Iran paper banned

A court in Iran has suspended publication of another newspaper, a provincial weekly called Cheshmeh Ardabil, and fined its editor the equivalent of six hundred dollars.

The paper was accused of agitating religious sentiments -- there were no other details.

The editor said he would appeal against the decision.
