What fundamental citizen right is explicitly protected under Article 22 of the Basic Statute of the State of Oman?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Personal freedom and prohibition of arrest without legal warrant
- Step 1: Article 22 of the Basic Statute guarantees individual liberty:
- Step 2: 'Personal freedom is guaranteed, and no person may be arrested, searched, detained, or restricted in freedom of residence or movement except in accordance with the provisions of the law.'
Answer
Personal freedom and prohibition of arrest without legal warrant.
Why not the others: 'The right to bear unlicensed firearms in public spaces' is strictly forbidden by Omani weapons laws; 'Mandatory conscription in the civil service' is not a constitutional civil liberty; 'The right to establish private commercial monopolies' contradicts anti-monopoly trade regulations.
