Your Sultanate of Oman

"On 4 February 2012 human rights defender Mr Muawiya Al Rawahi was arrested in Muscat following the publication of an on-line article in which he criticised the Government.  Muawiya Al Rawahi is currently being held incommunicado in an undisclosed location. Muawiya Al Rawahi is a prominent blogger and journalist who is known for his direct approach to issues regarded as taboo in the Sultanate of Oman." (thanks Ali)
