Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): After renewing his detention for eight weeks, a juvenile court judge decided on Monday (June 15, 2015) to release the child Mohammad Mansour, who is accused of smuggling explosives and detonators from Iraq.
The Bahraini ministry of interior claimed that it had arrested the suspect accused of smuggling the detonators from Iraq by land on March 15, 2015 in the early hours of the morning, at the exit of King Fahd Causeway. However, the Kuwaiti customs denied Bahrain's claim, stressing that the measures they followed in searching the bus proved the absence of any kind of illegal items.
The lawyer Abdullah Al-Shamlawi highlighted that article 24 of the juvenile law stipulates that children cannot be held in provisional detention. Al-Shamlawi posted a sarcastic tweet this morning saying: "At last, the juvenile court judge decided to release child Mohammad Mansour after renewing his detention for eight additional months, maybe it's because his threat to national security has diminished."

Mocking the judge, another tweeter wrote: "The juvenile court judge decided to release the explosives and detonators' expert, the child "Mohammad Mansour", after detaining him for eight weeks due to the danger he poses to the Bahraini regime".
