Manama : The Chief of the Terrorism Crimes Prosecution announced that the High Criminal Court has sentenced ten defendants in two separate cases involving violence and sabotage linked to the Iranian attacks on the Kingdom of Bahrain in March. The defendants received prison sentences of up to five years, while the court also ordered the confiscation of seized items.
According to the Public Prosecution, the cases originated from reports submitted by the Ministry of Interior’s relevant security authority after the defendants were apprehended in the act at two separate locations for their involvement in violent and destructive acts carried out during the Iranian attacks. They were subsequently referred to the Public Prosecution.
The prosecution said it conducted comprehensive investigations, questioning the defendants, interviewing witnesses and obtaining forensic evidence, while ensuring all legal rights and procedural safeguards were upheld. Based on the evidence gathered, the defendants were referred to the High Criminal Court, which heard the cases over several hearings before delivering today’s judgments.
The Public Prosecution reiterated its commitment to taking decisive legal action against anyone involved in acts that threaten public order or endanger the safety of the community through violence or vandalism, affirming that it will continue to enforce the law to protect the Kingdom’s security and stability.
