JANUARY 2019
OMAN:
January 2019 in Oman saw 68 expat women arrested for “committing acts contrary to public morals” according the Royal Oman Police.
The GCC, Greece, Spain and Turkey have all long complained at the behaviour of expats, in particular British expats.
Additionally over 1’000 expats on work visas were arrested for a range of crimes in January, mostly for violations of labour laws according to figures released today by the Ministry of Manpower and the Royal Oman Police.
At least 1’066 expats, mostly of Arab and Asian origins, were arrested in a sweep by the police over the first 23 days of the year.
The Ministry of Manpower also announced that 554 expats were deported, 490 for labor law violations and 64 for illegal entry into the country.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
