A judge had ordered the newspaper to temporarily cease publishing after it ran a front-page photomontage ridiculing six high-ranking women officials and depicting them as cabaret dancers.

Lawyer Pedro Aranguren says the court lifted the order on Monday.

He told the Venezuela TV channel Globovision that the court also ordered the newspaper not to publish text or images that offend or insult the reputation of public officials, or that are insulting toward women.

Venezuela prosecutors and court officials did not immediately comment on the decision to allow the newspaper to resume publishing.
