Five-year sentence for blocking road upheld
The Fifth High Criminal Court has upheld the five years sentence handed down to three Bahrainis, accused of blocking one of the major roads in Sehla by burning tyres. The incident that led to the case occurred in September 2015 and according to Public Prosecutors, a group of rioters gathered under the leadership of three convicts in Northern Sehla with an aim to violate laws and harm the public life.
“They burnt tyres and blocked the road, which led to huge traffic jam in the area.” The accused were charged with illegally blocking road apart from putting the public’s lives at risk.
