Sudan threatens BBC with legal action

July 29, 2004/ Tron Nick

Sudan's government has called for legal action against the BBC for spreading what it says are lies about the situation in Darfur, where tens of thousands have been killed. The council of ministers called in a statement for "political and legal measures" against media organisations including the BBC, which it said had broadcast "lies and maliciousness". The statement on Thursday did not say how, when or where it would pursue any action against the BBC and did not name the other media organisations. A BBC spokeswoman in London said the publicly funded corporation had received no notification of any legal action being planned by Sudan. [more]
