Newspaper Shut Down for Ridiculing Ruling Party

A local newspaper in Zarechny, Sverdlovsk Region, was closed for publishing a satirical article about the ruling United Russia party just before regional elections. The article ridiculed 2002 electoral promises by United Russia, all of which remained unfulfilled.
