MANAMA: The High Criminal Court issued an order yesterday banning the publishing of any news, comments or information related to the case against Salah Al Bandar for seizing papers owned by the government and stealing two private cheques.
In a statement, the court said that the order was based on articles 40 and 71 of Law 47 for 2002 related to regulating the Press and publishing.
It said that the move followed the actions of some newspapers, which handled the case in a manner that “harmed public interest, incited sedition among members of the community and influenced the court by publishing events without the relevant documents that were not presented to the Public Prosecution or investigated”.
