The 24th October edition of the Spanish newspaper El Pais was banned from sale in Morocco, as it printed a cartoon by Le Monde cartoonist Plantu which Moroccan authorities considered disrespectful to the national flag. The cartoon originally appeared in Le Monde on 22nd October. El Pais also reprinted
Khalid Kadafrom's cartoon from Akhbar Al Youm. (Other foreign publications -
Courrier-International and
L'Express International - have also been banned in Morocco.)
