One day after Iran banned its best-selling newspaper for publishing a picture of a temple belonging to the outlawed Baha'i sect, the country's Judiciary lifts the ban.

An informed source told Mehr News Agency on Tuesday that the Judiciary lifted a temporary ban slapped on the Hamshahri (Citizen) daily by the Press Supervisory Board on Monday.

"Therefore there exists no restrictions for the publication [of the daily] and it will be published tomorrow," said the source.

Hamshahri was shut down on Monday afternoon for publishing a picture of the Baha'i lotus temple in India and encouraging tourists to visit the place on its front page, Iran's Labor News Agency (ILNA) reported on Monday.

The daily had received a formal letter of complaint by the Iranian government's press watchdog and therefore offered apologies on its Monday issue, according to Mehr News Agency.
