A Yemeni editor has been fined for reprinting controversial cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad from a Danish newspaper earlier this year.
Muhammad Assadi of the Yemen Observer daily was found guilty of denigrating Islam and fined 0.5m riyals (£1,280).The cartoons caused Muslim anger around the world. Mr Assadi said he wanted to show Yemenis how insulting they were.
Last month a Yemeni editor was jailed for a year for reprinting the images. Another still faces similar charges.
