A new prosecution dedicated to drug crimes has been set up in Bahrain, a move MP Jalal Kadhem said would strengthen action against offences that threaten health and public safety.

He said the decision to form the Narcotics Crimes Prosecution pointed to a push for more focus and sharper tools in handling such cases.

It is expected to improve investigations, speed up proceedings, and help bring offenders to justice more efficiently.

Kadhem praised the Public Prosecution, headed by Dr Ali bin Fadhel Al Buainain, for a string of steps taken in recent years.

These, he said, have kept pace with changes in the nature of crime and the methods used to deal with it.

Programmes

He also spoke in support of programmes aimed at protecting children, women and families. Community support, prevention and reintegration, he added, were all part of the same picture.

He welcomed the creation of a specialised pleadings unit within the Public Prosecution.

The aim, he said, was to raise the quality of arguments brought before the courts.

Accurate rulings

Staffed by trained legal teams, it would focus on preparing and delivering stronger cases, which in turn could lead to clearer and more accurate rulings.

Kadhem said Parliament would continue to back these efforts by shaping laws that give the Public Prosecution the space to carry out its work properly and without interference.

He said the goal was to meet the public’s call for a system of justice that is both fair and effective.
