Prague - Czech President Vaclav Klaus Friday signed into law a bill that bans the media from publishing information from leaked police wiretaps, his office said.
The legislation was seen as a breach of media freedom.

Wiretap technology allows police to listen in on electronic communications in suspected criminal cases.

While backing atomic power, Topolanek warned against reliance on "imported" sources of energy.
