BEIRUT: Prosecutors in Bahrain have requested a swift trial for two suspects accused of posting messages on social media glorifying and promoting recent Iranian attacks against Manama.
In a message posted on social media platform X, Bahrain’s Public Prosecution said the unnamed individuals shared videos of Iranian attacks against military sites and other locations in the Kingdom. The suspects expressed joy about these terrorist acts, encouraged them and called for them to continue, prosecutors added.
They said they had received criminal reports from cybercrime officials about a number of social media accounts posting footage of Iranian attacks targeting military installations, where filming is prohibited, as well as strikes on public and private properties.
An investigation by law enforcement officers revealed the identities of the suspects, prosecutors said, and they were detained. No date was specified for an expedited trial.
