Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain's Third High Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Ibrahim Al-Zayed with the membership of judges Wajih Al Shaer and Ibrahim Al-Jafen and Yusuf Bou Hardan as secretariat, sentenced 12 suspects to 3 years in prison over starting a fire and threatening private transportation.

The Public Prosecution accused the suspects of intentionally setting mobile properties on fire on late August 11, 2014 by burning tires, as they pouring oil on a public street.

The authorities claimed that unknown suspects set tires ablaze and poured oil on a street in Salmabad village, and through investigations a number of suspects were seized.

Since 2012, the known riot cases which are listed under the riot act have been amended to apply to the terrorism act, as new terrorist aims and pretexts have been attributed to these cases, such as the attempted murder of policemen, breaching the provisions of law and putting people's lives and properties in danger, in order to harshen the sentences issued against protestors and activists.
