Ten minors were convicted yesterday in several court cases on charges of committing acts of violence and vandalism, which the Public Prosecution said were due to a ‘lack of parental supervision’.
The Lower Children’s Restorative Justice Court issued sentences of between two and three years in prison.
Also yesterday, 14 adults were found guilty in seven court cases of similar charges of violence, vandalism and rioting, which took place in March, ‘concurrent with Iranian hostilities’.
They also received prison sentences ranging from two to three years from the Lower Criminal Court, in addition to fines of between BD200 and BD500.
In the minors’ case, the Family and Child Prosecution stated that they took advantage of ‘the period of Iranian hostilities’ to commit these misdemeanours.
Six police reports were received by the prosecution, detailing the boys’ participation in unlicensed protests, in which they were said to have damaged public property in an attempt to spread chaos.
As for the cases involving adult suspects, seven police reports were received by the Public Prosecution, and the defendants were arrested while ‘taking part in riots’.
After the Public Prosecution completed its investigations into the reports, it charged the suspects and referred their cases for criminal trial.
