This combo picture shows the two front pages of El Nacional newspaper, one with a December 2009 photograph of corpses piled at a morgue in Caracas published on August 13, 2010 (L), and other with the word 'Censored' instead a front page picture published in Caracas on August 18, 2010. A Venezuelan court has ordered two opposition newspapers include El Nacional, not to print violent images in a measure that it said was aimed at protecting children, but which critics denounced as censorship. The ruling followed a scandal over the publication of a photograph of corpses piled at a morgue in Caracas, which the government says was part of campaign against President Hugo Chavez's Socialist Party ahead of Sept. 26 legislative polls.
