Trial reveals terror suspects’ ‘addiction for pornography’

Two members of the terrorist organisation February 14 Coalition Group have been additionally charged with having pornography videos and images in their phones, the court heard.

The two are among the 13 suspected members of the February 14 Coalition who are on trial for forming a terrorist cell.

The defendants are said to have been active between 2017 and 2018 before they were nabbed following police investigations which revealed that the first and second defendants were the masterminds of the cell.

Prosecutors say that the cell aimed to target police officers, citizens and obstruct the national development activities as well as the country’s unity. The first defendant allegedly received funds from terrorists living outside Bahrain and used them to finance the terrorist activities of the group.

Meanwhile, his co-suspects are alleged to have made firebombs to target police officers and public properties. Apart from the terror-linked charges, the first and third defendants were found to have obscene videos and images in their phones upon their arrest. And this was added to the list of accusations against them.
