Bahrain Participates in World Police Summit 2025
Lieutenant General Tariq Al Hassan, Chief of Public Security, led the Kingdom of Bahrain's delegation to the World Police Summit 2025, held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, under the theme "Beyond the Badge: Envision the Next Era of Policing." The summit brought together over 300 international speakers, experts, and high-level security officials from around the globe. Lt. Gen. Al Hassan took part in a prominent panel discussion titled "Technological Transformations in the Landscape of Organised Crime," where he addressed the growing threats posed by emerging forms of crime, including cyber fraud and illicit drug trafficking. He highlighted how modern criminal networks are increasingly turning to advanced technologies such as cryptocurrencies, encrypted messaging platforms, and the dark web to bypass law enforcement surveillance and disrupt investigative processes. Emphasising the need for enhanced international cooperation, Lt. Gen. Al Hassan called for the development of robust cross-border legal frameworks and the strengthening of inter-agency trust and communication to combat transnational crime effectively. He also stressed the importance of investing in law enforcement training to keep pace with technological advances, including the adoption of artificial intelligence to support predictive policing and proactive crime prevention strategies. The Chief of Public Security outlined Bahrain's proactive initiatives in building strong community partnerships and launching youth-focused programmes aimed at protecting society from drugs, organised crime, digital fraud, and online harassment. These efforts include nationwide security awareness campaigns in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, as well as coordinated efforts with international partners. Lt. Gen. Al Hassan concluded by reaffirming the crucial role of global security coordination in addressing cross-border criminal activity. He praised the contributions of organisations such as INTERPOL and the GCC Police Authority in advancing police capabilities, sharing expertise, and strengthening regional and international security networks.

Crimes Of Rape Have Tripled In Six Years Across Spain
Spain has seen an alarming rise in sexual violence over recent years, culminating in a record-high number of rapes, which reached 5,206 incidents in 2024, according to new official statistics from the Ministry of the Interior. With an average of 14 rapes per day across the country, the figure nearly triples the 1,878 cases reported in 2019 when five daily incidents were reported. The upward trend has remained consistent year-over-year since 2018, aside from a brief dip during 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. Regional breakdowns show that communities like Catalonia, Madrid, and Andalusia report the highest numbers, although increases have been noted throughout all regions of Spain. Cases involving minors, nightlife-related assaults, and attacks perpetrated by groups of offenders are also on the rise. The grim reality presented by these numbers translates to a woman being raped every hour and 45 minutes in Spain. Remix News reported in November last year on a La Rázon report that revealed 91 percent of those convicted of rape in Catalonia are foreigners, with immigrants comprising just 17 percent of the region's total population. When it comes to sexual assault and rape combined, 64.2 percent of inmates are foreign nationals. As reported by El Español, the rapid increase in sexual violence has overwhelmed specialized police units such as the Family and Women's Care Units (UFAM) of the National Police and the Women-Minor Teams (EMUME) of the Civil Guard, both reporting understaffing and resource constraints. Officers within these units indicate that they are working beyond capacity, often handling a significantly higher workload than a decade ago without adequate support, training, or compensation.
