MUSCAT : In a judgment rendered on Thursday, April 10, 2025, the court found the accused guilty of two misdemeanours. The first charge was related to his involvement in a gathering, and the second was for disseminating information that could harm the state’s reputation.

The court sentenced Talal bin Ahmed bin Ali to one year in prison for each offense and imposed a RO 500 fine for his participation in the gathering. The penalties were ordered to run concurrently, with the more severe sentence being enforced.
