ManamaThe Terror Crime Prosecution has sent 11 suspects for forming a terrorist group “the Secret Intelligence Authority for Revolution in Bahrain” or ‘SIA’ to trial. 

Chief of the Terror Crime Prosecution Advocate General Chancellor Ahmed Al Hammadi said seven suspects are in custody. The case will be heard by the High Criminal Court on April 12, 2018.

They were charged with setting up a terrorist gang, joining it, torture, arresting and detaining a person and using force with him, kidnap, forced theft and promoting a terrorist crime.
