Your Excellency:
The Committee to Protect Journalists is deeply concerned about apparent Omani government censorship of two writers who made critical comments on a satellite television program earlier this year.
Mohamed al-Harthi, who wrote a column on cultural affairs in the weekly supplement of the government-owned daily Oman, and Abdullah al-Riyami, a playwright and poet whose plays regularly appear on Omani television, said that the Ministry of Information imposed an informal ban on their work in Omani media beginning in July.
