magazine censorship/regulation laws

Hi,

I'm looking to launch a design/art magazine in Dubai. As some photography/art may show nudity, I'm wondering what the regulations are for print magazines (i.e. is a photography of a silhouette of a naked woman allowed? Or a photograph of a naked woman without showing any private parts...is that allowed, etc). Would anyone have any information on this or direct me to a website where I can find out.

Thanks,
Trisha

Trisha, nudity is not allowed, artistic or not.

For the law itself have a look at http://www.scribd.com/doc/325533/UAE-Publications-Law
