The Public Prosecution has completed an investigation into a human trafficker accused of smuggling two girls into the Kingdom and forcing them into prostitution.
The head of the Prosecution of Trafficking in Persons said the suspect and the victims are both Asians by nationality.
The Public Prosecution referred the suspect to the First High Criminal Court for trial, which begins on the 14th of this month.
Police arrested the suspect following a phone call received from one of the victims.
The victim told police that they were locked up in an apartment by the suspect.
Police officers then traced the phone to an apartment, from where they managed to free two girls.
The girls told the police they reached Bahrain for domestic work, but the suspect seized their passports and forced them into prostitution.
The Chief Prosecutor took the testimonials of the victims and put them up in a safe house of the National Committee to Combat Trafficking in Person.
