South African lawmakers have approved a committee report recommending passage of a bill to protect state secrets. The bill is expected to be passed later Tuesday, though critics say it will stifle expression. Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu and prominent writers led by Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer have lobbied against the bill.
