Three defendants fined for violating home-quarantine order
TDT | Manama
The Lower Criminal Court ruled that three defendants be fined BD1,000 each for violating health procedures and preemptive regulations to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19). The High Court of Appeal rejected the plea of one of the defendants, who did not comply with home-confinement orders and was previously fined BD2,000.
The Public Prosecution received notifications from the Public Health Directorate that three persons had infringed the mandatory home-quarantine imposed on them to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak.
Monitoring showed their non-compliance as they had left their homes on different dates. The Public Prosecution launched an investigation and questioned the defendants. It ordered they be released on bail and referred them to the Lower Criminal Court, which issued its aforementioned verdict.
