From Reuters:

An Egyptian newspaper editor was sentenced to a year in jail on Monday for publishing a front-page photograph of an Egyptian television and film actress that was found to be indecent, court sources said.

The verdict against editor Hatem Mamdouh Mahran was the latest in a string of rulings that have handed jail terms to at least 12 journalists since September on charges ranging from defaming President Hosni Mubarak to misquoting the minister of justice.

The sources said Mahran's al-Naba weekly newspaper, known for testing conservative Egyptian sensibilities, had published a picture in January of actress Hala Sidky that prosecutors said "reveals a sensitive part" of her body. They did not say which part of her body.

Mahran, who was also fined 20,000 Egyptian pounds ($3,600) and granted bail of 5,000 pounds, said he would appeal.
