The Omani Human Rights Committee commends the steps taken by the Royal Oman Police to reduce the number of detainees at Bawshar Police Station and transfer them to other detention departments.
As the centre currently houses a limited number of detainees, it at the same time appreciates the continuous cooperation and facilitating its tasks by the Royal Oman Police.
