(KNAC) Dozens of literary masterpieces and international bestsellers have been banned in Iran in a dramatic rise in censorship that has plunged the country's publishing industry into crisis.

Companies that once specialised in popular fiction and other money-spinners are being restricted to academic texts under a cultural freeze instigated by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.... Another publishing house has been banned from selling a successful series of books featuring lyrics by THE BEATLES, ROLLING STONES, THE DOORS, BLACK SABBATH, QUEEN and GUNS N' ROSES. Stores were told to remove the books or face closure. Permission was subsequently denied for the publisher to reprint.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
