Talib bin Ali bin Hilal Al-Ebri is an Omani designer and online activist known for his active presence on social media platforms, particularly Twitter and Facebook, where he shared information and commentary in support of political reforms and freedom of expression. He was involved in documenting and discussing social and political issues in Oman, particularly during the 2011 reform movement. On 16 July 2012, the Court of First Instance in Muscat sentenced him to one year in prison for allegedly “insulting the Sultan” and an additional six months for “violating information technology law,” alongside a fine of 1,000 Omani Rials (approximately 2,600 USD). He was released on bail pending appeal. His sentencing appears to be directly linked to his online activism and advocacy for reform.
