>From Bad to Worse: Online Repression in the Gulf

   "In Kuwait, dozens imprisoned in an effort to stifle online dissent.
    In the United Arab Emirates, a sentence of 10 months in prison for
    describing a court hearing without "honesty and in bad faith."  And in
    Qatar, a draft cybercrime law that threatens the relative freedom of
    expression enjoyed by residents."
