Yemeni editor sentenced to prison for one year over Muhammad cartoons

Here is a story that just won't die. Earlier today, a Yemeni court sentenced Kamal al-Aalafi, editor-in-chief of the al-Rai al-Aam newspaper, to a sentence of one year in prison for publishing the Danish Muhammad cartoons in his newspaper. In addition to that sentence, the court ordered al-Aalafi's newspaper to close down for six months.
