The General Directorate of Verdict Enforcement and Alternative Sentencing has begun replacing the jail terms of 207 convicts with alternative sentences.
This is being done in co-ordination with the Public Prosecution, its director general Shaikh Khalid bin Rashid Al Khalifa said yesterday.
This brings the total number of beneficiaries of the Penalties and Alternative Measures Law since its implementation to 11,215, he said.
Shaikh Khalid stressed that Bahrain is moving forward with steady steps to enhance its regional and international leadership in adopting modern criminal policies and developing reformative programmes that balance the rule of law, the protection of human rights and the sustainability of community stability.
Shaikh Khalid also extended his congratulations to His Majesty King Hamad and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, on the occasion of Eid Al Adha.
