Abdullah Ryami
, Oman -
Abdullah al Ryami, born in July of 1965, is an Omani poet and playwright, who has been blacklisted and arrested in Oman for speaking about civil rights. Al Ryami first came to the attention of the authorities in July 2004, after an appearance on the Iranian television station, Al-Alam, where he cast doubt on the Omani government's willingness to implement democratic reforms. He was immediately put on a media blacklist, with his journalism, poetry and plays all removed from Omani radio, television and newspapers. His appearances as a commentator were forbidden.

Saeed Jaddad
Dhofar, Oman -
Saeed Jaddad is a human rights activist and a blogger. He was arrested in 2013 for undermining the prestige and status of Oman. Jaddad, 43, has called for political and social reforms on Facebook and his blog, and has been involved with the European Parliament human rights bodies to advocate for improved compliance with international human rights standards by Oman. Jaddad was a key organizer of pro-reform protests in 2011 in the Dhofar region in southern Oman. The arrests and intimidation appear to be linked to his peaceful activism for reform.
