As Muscatin said, the Omantel CEO is a smoke screen, the real case is the “leaking” of the memo.

I read the memo, it started from the council of ministers sent to all ministries, who distributed it to all DGs, who in turn distributed it to all staff, it is a huge stretch of imagination calling it secrets. Tea boys at the ministry of housing got copies of the memo.

And it is absolutely correct. However, people aren't rallying behind Ali Al Zuwaidi because he is right or wrong in what he did. They are doing because Ali Al Zuwaidi is being persecuted for political reasons. He is being made an example of. The Ali Al Zuwaidi case is not about what's legal online and what isn't. It is about the lack of freedom of speech of Oman. It's about how lame the Omani press is. It's about how the true happenings in Oman aren't being reported in the press and how people go on line in desperate search for the truth and end up having to sift through tons of gossip and lies. Those with active and accurate filters get to the nuggets of truth, while the vast majority come out believing lies spread by ignorant idiots who use the internet to spread anything that can smear the government. Omantel is just a smoke screen. Ali Al Zuwaidi is being persecuted for leaking the Council of Ministers memo that regulated the morning call-in show on Shabab FM. That memo is "real" news. In any country with a free press, this memo would have caused a huge scandal. In Oman, the news isn't the memo and its context, but the prosecution of the guy who went and posted it online.<br><br>So long as the Omani government doesn't allow the press to actually report the news, incidents like these will continue to occur. The laws can continue to be written in the vaguest of terms to allow the government to prosecute any they want for whatever they want. But for how long will they continue to arrest people?
