Oman detains anti-government protesters

Oman has detained several anti-government activists who took part in protests that started last month in a northern industrial city.

The demonstrations in Sohar - inspired by uprisings that have gripped the Arab world - have pressed for more jobs, pay hikes, and a greater public role in the Gulf country's politics.
