Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini Fourth High Criminal Court, presided over by judge Ali Al-Dhahrani with the memberships of judges Osama Al-Shadhili and Wael Ibrahim, and Ahmad Al-Sulaiman as secretariat, handed down 5-year jail term to 3 suspects over planting hoax bomb in Tubli and 3-year jail term to 2 others and ordered the confiscation of seized items.
The Public Prosecution accused the defendants of planting a hoax bomb on the highway, along with other unknown suspects for a terrorist purpose, taking part in an assembly of more than 5 people, aiming at disturbing public peace and using violence to achieve their purpose as well as acquiring Molotov aiming at endangering people's lives and money
Human rights organizations challenge the charges raised against political detainees, since they doubt the independence of the judiciary, whose members are assigned by royal decrees, and since it issues sentences based on confessions extracted under duress and evidence presented by secret investigations and anonymous witnesses.
