The United Arab Emirates says it will no longer censor cinematic releases, introducing a 21 and above age rating for films it classifies for mature audiences. The UAE is considered one of the more liberal countries in the Gulf region, where movies with adult content are routinely cut or edited. The country’s Media Regulatory Office says that it had introduced a 21+ age category to its motion picture content rating system. It added that the international version of movies will be shown in cinemas, with an emphasis on the strict following of age classification standards for audience entry.
