Bahrain Mirror: The High Appeals Court upheld on Tuesday (August 3, 2021) the 2-year jail verdict and execution of sentence issued against retired Colonel Mohammad Al-Zayani.
On July 8, 2021, the Minor Criminal Court sentenced the retired Colonel to prison.
The Public Prosecution said that it had investigated Al-Zayani after it was asked by the Supreme Judicial Council to take investigative measures and initiate criminal proceedings against him after publishing a recording in which he insulted the judicial authority.
The authorities summoned Al-Zayani on June 23 to investigate him after he spoke about corruption in the judiciary on his Instagram account and decided to arrest him pending investigation.
