Bahrain Mirror: The High Criminal Court handed down 5-year jail term to 5 suspects and 3-year jail term to 6 others over burning tires in Al-Markh.
The court accused the suspects of burning tires. Meanwhile, the Public Prosecution charged them with deliberately setting fire to movables, endangering people's lives and money, taking part, along with other unknowns, in an assembly, as well as acquiring Molotov.
Since 2012, riot cases that go under the demonstrations and riot section of the penal code were adapted to apply to the terrorism law, if there were "terrorist" purposes behind them, such as attempted murder of a police officer, violating the provisions of law and endangering the lives of people and their properties, within the regime's framework of harshening penalties against protestors and activists.
