Muscat: The Omani Cultural Attaché in London has warned Omanis studying in the UK and Europe not to open their doors to any stranger, or stopping in a public place to fill in a questionnaire offered by anyone.

“Any student who already did the questionnaire should immediately contact the Attaché,” a statement from the attaché said, adding that his office had already sent emails to all students in the UK and Europe.

The diplomat explained that unrecognised organisations offer questionnaire to obtain student’s data and his or her political and cultural orientations.

The attaché pointed out that such organisations will push the students to participate in protests and demonstrations and terrorist operations, local media reported.

The attaché added that the warning is not only for Omanis studying in the UK but also students in other European countries.

He affirmed that such a measure has been taken for the safety of all Omani students.

More than 2,000 Omanis study in the UK, according to the Ministry of Higher Education.
