Censorship
has been an integral part of the king's emergency
The
authorities in Nepal have banned independent media coverage of the country's
Maoist insurgency.
The
move tightens censorship imposed a month ago after King Gyanendra staged
a coup, imposed an emergency and appointed his own cabinet.
The
information ministry notice says no media outlet will be allowed to publish
news about the rebels unless they get the information from security forces.
The
Maoists are fighting to replace the monarchy with a communist republic.
