The truth of the political arrests in Muscat
We’re informing you that a number of our comrades in the military leadership have been arrested. We are issuing an ultimatum to speed their release.
There have been multiple arrests by the British Intelligence Service in Muscat, Nazwa, Masrah and other cities, as well as in Jabal Akhdar.
This was the result of treason. The Intelligence Service was able to arrest leading comrades in the Secret Military Bureau. So far, None has admitted to being members of the Bureau, but instead admitted to being sympathizers of our Front, which was agreed on prior [to the arrest].
We are putting forward this information in order to avoid confusion.
The arrested members of the Military Bureau are the following:
Ahmad Hmaidan Died due to torture
Ahmad Al-Rubii Nasir Mansour
Yehia Al-Ghassani Muhammed Ahmad Al- Battashi
Suleiman Seif Suleiman Sayid Al-Hilali
Masoud Hamad Al-Salimi Ibrahim Al-Iyari
Ali Suleiman Abdul-Karim – Rashid Abdulla Salim – Salim Ahmad Nasir Naasir –
Issa Addulla Ali Salih
