Bahraini faces trial for buying gun from friend

A 27-year-old Bahraini man will stand trial for trying to help a friend, who didn’t have enough money to bring a maid, by buying a gun from him.

The Bahraini man revealed that he chose to buy the gun in a bid to support his friend, also Bahraini, financially.

The move got the two men in the dock in addition to a third Bahraini man. “I was working with him (the second man),” the 27-year-old said in his statement after he was arrested for possessing a weapon without a licence.
