Futhermore during this unfortunate period,I was advice to evacuate my immediate family outside the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan and his security operatives, but before i could do that i was arrested placed under house arrest by the sultan and not access to a phone but i have a Palm V held laptop from which i am sending you this mail.
