The General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) has announced a ban on photographing, filming, publishing, sharing, or re-posting any images, videos, recordings, or information related to military operations, troop deployment locations, unit movements, military vehicles, equipment, or military sites under its authority.
The measure aims to safeguard the security and safety of Bahrain and protect its supreme national interests amid the current exceptional circumstances and ongoing Iranian aggression against the country.
It is based on Article (17 bis) of the Military Judiciary Law of 2002 and Article (135) of the Penal Code of 1976.
The BDF stressed that the prohibition also covers the circulation or promotion of unverified or fabricated information concerning events, attacks, or violations targeting the kingdom, including content created or disseminated using modern technologies.
The ban applies across all platforms, including traditional media, digital outlets, and social media, whether directly or indirectly.
It further extends to any actions that could endanger national security, facilitate the targeting of military or vital installations, disrupt ongoing defence operations, or compromise the safety of the armed forces, citizens, and residents.
