Amnesty in Ramadan and at Eid Al-Fitr, 2006
Question
I noticed the Sultan of Oman has given amnesty to 95 Omani inmates for Eid and 405 inmates for Ramadan. Are you aware of a source to obtain a list of names for those released?
Answer
Sadly, no. It would have been nice to see statistics for the type of previous conviction, and also the nationality of all those released, although I note that you quote Omani inmates. Were any expatriates released and were they deported subsequently, for example? But it's nice to see an amnesty.
I would imagine that foreign diplomatic officers in Muscat might have a good idea.
