The Public Prosecution has called for the maximum penalties to be imposed on several defendants accused of promoting, justifying, and encouraging the hostile terrorist attack carried out by Iran against the Kingdom of Bahrain.

During its closing arguments before the competent criminal court, the Public Prosecution addressed several cases involving individuals accused of promoting and supporting acts that constitute terrorist activity punishable under Bahraini law. The charges relate to the terrorist attack carried out against the Kingdom by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The defendants are also accused of possessing materials that promote, justify, and encourage such terrorist acts, as well as photographing locations in violation of an official ban.

In its arguments, the Public Prosecution presented evidence and proof indicating that the defendants committed the crimes attributed to them, and requested that the court impose the harshest penalties without leniency, describing such actions as a betrayal of the nation that hosted them, granted them nationality, and from whose resources they benefited. The prosecution also noted that such acts spread fear among citizens and residents, undermine public security, and disrupt public order.

The Public Prosecution reaffirmed that, in light of the difficult circumstances facing the country due to the hostile Iranian attack, it will continue to confront firmly any acts that violate the law, threaten national security, or destabilize the country. It stressed that the rule of law remains the fundamental guarantee for protecting society and safeguarding rights and freedoms, and that it will continue to perform its duties in accordance with legal procedures to ensure justice and maintain public order.
