The Chief of the Cybercrime Prosecution announced that the Third Minor Criminal Court has swiftly issued a verdict sentencing two Asian nationals to six months in prison, with immediate enforcement, confiscation of their mobile phones, and permanent deportation from the Kingdom of Bahrain following the completion of their sentence. The case emerged after the Public Prosecution received a report from the Cybercrime Directorate under the General Directorate for Combating Corruption, Economic and Electronic Security. The report indicated that a video clip had been circulating on social media platforms showing the two individuals engaging in acts deemed indecent and offensive to public morals and contrary to Bahraini social values and traditions.
