Bahrain Mirror: The Supreme Court of Appeals presided over by judge Mohammad bin Ali Al Khalifa and secretariat of Naji Abdullah upheld a 3-year jail verdict issued by a first-instance court against a defendant over hiding his cousin, who is convicted in political case.
The court convicted the defendant because in 2015 he hid a convict who is sentenced to temporal prison term, despite being aware that his cousin is sentenced to a prison term.
The authorities claim that the suspect hid the convict, who is sentenced to 5 years in prison, in his house and fed him for one month. The authorities claim that the defendant gave his cousin his ID card and driving license to avoid the checkpoints. The investigations of a lieutenant led the authorities to the defendant.
