The Head of the Terror Crimes Prosecution stated that the High Criminal Court, at its session held today, issued two judgments in two separate cases involving 10 defendants convicted of committing acts of violence and vandalism during the criminal Iranian attacks on the Kingdom of Bahrain in March. The court sentenced them to prison terms of up to five years and ordered the confiscation of the seized items.

The two cases stemmed from reports submitted by the competent security authority at the Ministry of Interior, stating that the defendants were arrested in the act at the scenes of the incidents after participating in acts of violence and vandalism that coincided with the criminal Iranian attacks on the Kingdom of Bahrain, before being referred to the Public Prosecution.

The Public Prosecution immediately launched its investigations by questioning the defendants in detail while ensuring all their legal rights and guarantees. It ordered their pretrial detention pending investigation, heard testimony from witnesses in both cases, and requested technical reports. Based on the testimonial and forensic evidence, the defendants were referred to the High Criminal Court, which heard the two cases over several hearings before issuing the aforementioned judgments.

The Public Prosecution affirmed that it will not hesitate to take firm legal action against anyone who disrupts public security or endangers the safety of society and its members by participating in acts of vandalism. It also stressed that it will continue to confront all forms of violence and disorder in accordance with the law to safeguard the security and stability of the community.
