Fugitives nabbed in Kuwait back to jail

Two men who fled Bahrain after being accused in many security cases have been sentenced by the High Criminal Court to five years behind bars each.

A third man stood in the same trial for helping the second defendant and was given three years in prison.  The first and second defendants were wanted in connection with security cases in 2011, but they managed to flee the Kingdom.

The first suspect is said to have dressed and worn make-up to impersonate his sister, whose ID was used to facilitate his escape from the Kingdom.
