Emirates Media and Studies Centre is one of the leading independent research and media institutions in Emirates, that aims to work within the national and regional frames, and it relies in achieving its goals, on the efforts of thinkers and intellectuals to play an active role in public and political lives, and the ambitions of wide sectors of Emirati and Gulf youths.
The Initiative For an Open Arab Internet is an initiative by the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (HRinfo) advocating free use of the Internet without censorship, blocking or spying. In this context, the initiative seeks to provide international and Arab information and internet related documents. The initiative also defends internet users, web-designers, and writers by organising legal and media campaigns and highlighting practices restricting Internet freedom.
