The editor-in-chief of Zambia's only private newspaper has been charged with contempt of court over an article about a colleague's trial on pornography charges, says a Mail & Guardian Online report.

Post newspaper editor Fred M'membe will stand trial for violating a gag order on the pornography case, in which the paper's news editor Chansa Kabwela was cleared, Magistrate David Simusamba ruled. Kabwela was accused of circulating pornography by e-mailing a government official and women's groups unpublished photos of a woman giving birth on a hospital sidewalk during a doctors' strike. M'membe's contempt of court charges are a result of the newspaper publishing an article, headlined 'Chansa Kabwela case: A comedy of errors', during the trial.
