Azg, CENSORED
The Ministry of Justice ordered a pro-government splinter group of the opposition party Ramgavar to take over the executive board of the opposition daily Azg. When the staff and board of Azg resisted the takeover, the ministry ordered their printing house to cease publication of the newspaper. On May 21, a court ruled that the ministry's attempt to change ownership was unlawful, and the paper resumed publication.
