A number of inmates were prosecuted as a result of the incidents that took place and were sentenced to 15 additional years behind bars.

Layla Abdulnabi, the sister of martyr Ahmed Abudlnabi, was visiting a relative in Jaw Prison. During the visit, the policemen insulted the women in the visiting area and Layla's relative was assaulted. Clashes erupted as a result inside the prison chambers between the political prisoners and the police forces that used excessive force against inmates. The Bahraini Ministry of Interior addressed this protest as a "rebellion".
