Deal to ensure open Net
Posted on » Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Bahrain Human Rights Youth Society has signed an agreement with a French organisation specialised in circumventing bans on websites.
"The Paris-based Sesawe is an international consortium working to support uncensored access to the Internet," society chairman Mohammed Al Maskati said.
It has developed a software, 'Hotspot Shield', capable of breaking censorship to ensure an open Internet.
It has also designed the 'Your Freedom' software to protect individuals against surveillance and eavesdropping and ensure them access to prohibited political websites.
"The co-operation agreement includes training workshops on using Sesawe programmes and accessing banned websites free of charge," Mr Al Maskati said.
