  • The Sultanate of Oman, established on August 9, 1970, is an absolute monarchy in which all the power resides with the sultan. The government controls what information the mass media relays, and the law prohibits any criticism of the Sultan or government. In November 1974, Oman TV began broadcasting news broadcasts, government announcements, children's shows and nature programs. Though Articles 29, 30 and 31 of the Basic Statute of Oman calls for freedom of the press and freedom of expression, there is some underlying material including "public discord, violates the security of the state, or abuses a person's dignity or rights," which complicates the meaning of the law. The Basic Statute, founded in 1996, is the foundation of the government and has only been modified once in 2011. The 1984 Press and Publications Law has more rules and regulations than any country in the Arab world. The media is heavily controlled and libel is a criminal offense. To combat freelance journalism, journalists have to apply as employees "of a specific outlet" as of 2005. With the Telecommunications Act in place, people can be prosecuted if they communicate against the operations of society. Because of the many regulations, all media is monitored and advertising is prohibited on radio and television. (en)
