Young Arab journalists launch anti-corruption body

A small group of young Arab writers has established an organisation dedicated to using journalism to fight corruption. The founders of Kuttab Shabab Dhid Al-Fassad (Young Writers against Corruption) come from Iraq, Libya, Morocco and Palestine. They announced their formation with the launch of a website on July 1 and describe themselves as "a civil organisation with an ambitious mission: to combat corruption and foster justice and equality among the people." They say they are also planning to launch a newspaper and call on other Arab writers to join them. (Via IJNET.org)
