💢 UPDATE: Bahrain prosecutors now seeking death penalty for citizens accused of photographing damage from Iranian attacks
Bahrain’s Public Prosecution is seeking the death penalty for defendants accused of “high betrayal,” alleging they photographed locations where photography is prohibited.
In court, prosecutors said the kingdom faces “brutal Iranian aggression,” adding that “loyalty to the homeland is not an option that accepts negotiation,” and calling for “maximum penalties” for violators, “without the slightest mercy,” which they added is the “death penalty.”
The case comes as authorities continue blaming Iran for damage from a strike in Sitra, where 32 civilians, including children, were injured after a Bahraini air-defense interceptor appears to have struck a residential area.
