In response to the video of an illegal rally that showed slogans-shouting against a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-member country, Deputy Chief of Public Security said that an investigation had resulted in the identification of the participants and some of them were arrested including the main person who was shouting the slogans.
On Wednesday search was on to arrest the remaining participants. He also said that such acts promoted disharmony, affected civil peace and were seditious, he said.
He explained that Article 215 of the Penal Code stipulates that anyone will face "jail for up to two years or a fine of up to BD200 if he publicly insulted a foreign country or an international organisation or its representative based in Bahrain" . The same penalty shall apply to anyone who offends such organisation’s flag or official emblem."
He warned of security and legal steps against any call for an illegal assembly, in order to maintain the Kingdom’s security and stability
