The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age -
In Oman, the expanded role of the internal security apparatus (intelligence) and its collaboration with other subsequent security agencies raised concerns about the safety and personal security of individuals in relation to their digital activities, whether in their personal or professional capacities. The OCHR has received several reports from individuals who claim to have been unlawfully summoned for investigations, including instances of receiving calls from unknown numbers or being approached at their workplaces and compelled to accompany officials for questioning. During these interrogations, individuals are surprised to find that all their devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, or personal computers, are seized from them. Additionally, individuals have reported that upon receiving a summons for questioning, they are mandated to bring all their personal devices with them.
