Top-selling Tehran reformist daily Hamshahri has been suspended from national circulation for a period of ten days for refusing to publish a reply to one of its articles, the daily's director said on Wednesday. 

 

Mohammad Atrianfar said suspension came after the newspaper refused to publish a formal response by Alireza Mahjub, secretary general of a leading worker's trade union, according to AFP. 

 

"We are resolving the problem, which is simply judicial," said Atrianfar. (Albawaba.com)
