1) My original post from September on Article 61 of the telecom law which makes owners and moderators of websites responsible for the content published on their sites and how it was being used to prosecute a moderator (Ali Al Zuwaidi from Sablat Oman).
2) MyITLawyer's blog post yesterday on the progress of Al Zuwaidi's trial.
3) The public prosecutor's reminder to the public about Article 61, which incidentally covers all electronic communication, even SMS. (Arabic)
4) An Omani writer finally speaks up on the case in an opinion column in yesterday's Al Shabiba newspaper, and ends with asking "where is the Omani Writer's Association" in the middle of all this? (Arabic).

I note that you express no opinion on the matter, are you neutral, or???
Do let us know when part 2 comes of the last article pls.
Suburban - Or maybe it's because Article 61 scared me shitless!
Allot of things been happening makes me scared too, allot of people won't be spared. God help us all.
Good point Muscati...
but are they not referring to young people exchanging lewd messages, photos, webcam sex, etc? Maybe someone important saw his daughter's phone messages?
Article 61 (and many of Oman's laws regarding such things, to be honest) as written is open to wide interpretation, seldom tested by the courts and hence difficult to ascertain any jurisprudence or guidance.
