A man has been taken into custody after prosecutors said he posted a video on social media showing behaviour offensive to public decency and human dignity.

The Public Prosecution received a report from the Cybercrime Directorate at the Ministry of Interior’s General Directorate for Combating Corruption, Economic and Electronic Security.

The footage, they said, showed the suspect engaging in conduct contrary to the values of Bahraini society.

He was arrested on orders from the prosecution, brought in for questioning, and shown the video.

The suspect admitted to sharing the clip, saying he had hoped to receive money from followers on his account. He remains in detention as investigations continue.

The Chief of the Cybercrime Prosecution remarked that such conduct runs against public order and morals and may lead to legal consequences.
