Bahrain replaces imprisonment with alternative punishments for 30 people

Alternative punishments replaced imprisonment sentences for 30 convicts following the study of their cases from social, economic and security aspects.

Under the Bahrain law, the original penalty may be substituted by one or more of the alternative penalties provided that it would not pose a threat to public security, and that the convicted person must have paid all the financial liabilities handed down against them by a criminal court, unless it is impossible for them to pay.
