Up to 200 supporters of Omani Islamists on trial for subversion have marched in Muscat demanding their acquittal on the eve of a verdict in their case.
The marchers, who were flanked by police, on Sunday headed from the mosque of Sultan Said bin Taymur in the centre of the Omani capital to a roundabout where they dispersed peacefully.
"Our sheikhs are innocent," said some of the banners raised by the marchers, while others pledged loyalty to Oman's ruler Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said.
The march, which began around 7:00 pm (1500 GMT), lasted nearly an hour. Some pleaded for a light sentence, reported Aljazeera.
Street demonstrations are banned in Oman as in other Gulf Arab states.
