Deleted Romanian details

If anyone wants to go track down sources, have at it. But it seems a bit too detailed for a general overview:

One of the most notorious cases was of Tiberiu Patru (died in 2017[1]), the editor of Ora. The editor-in-chief of the local newspaper was arrested in the summer of 1999 while finalizing a contract for advertising space.[2] Before his arrest, Patru was about to publish a huge investigation about an entire department from the Attorney General Office, Dolj, who was caught in a striptease club, most of them almost completely naked and harassing the employees. To stop the investigation from being published, the Attorney General Office, Dolj, sent Sorin Sarbu of the Romanian Federation for Democracy to trick Patru. Sarbu had a meeting with Patru, saying he wanted an advertising contract. Before signing the papers, Sarbu insisted that Patru should count the money to see that the entire amount was there. The moment Patru touched the money, the police arrested him. The investigation was published a week after the arrest of Tiberiu Patru, while he was still in jail. The entire team of Ora moved the newsroom in front of The National Theater of Craiova to protest the abusive arrest of the editor-in-chief and called to be arrested too.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Redirect here for The Free Press?

Hello fellow Wikipedians - Can anyone comment on why we have the phrase "The Free Press" (capitalized and with a leading article) redirecting here? There are numerous publications with that name, and it seems like that redirect would be better pointed to the disambig page "Free Press". Any observations on this from anyone? If not, I will return here at some point in the future and move the redirect. Thanks to all for their contributions to WP. KConWiki (talk) 04:57, 25 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

UK Gagging Acts 1790s

There should be a mention of the colloquially known 'Gagging Acts' in the UK section - publishers like Joseph Johnson were briefly imprisoned for printing anti monarchical material. 49.185.196.52 (talk) 08:55, 22 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
