A newspaper in Suriname says it will not comply with a demand by President Chandrikapersad Santokhi to remove from its website the photo on the cover of a book by a Dutch entrepreneur, Gerard van den Bergh, alleging corruption at the highest level in the country.
President Santokhi, through his attorney, has already sent a writ to the publisher and a bookstore demanding that the book titled "Corruption at the Highest Level" be immediately withdrawn from the market.
In refusing to remove the photo from its website, the newspaper said it views Santokhi's demand as tantamount to censorship.
