Al Hassan stated that legal action was taken against them as a means of maintaining public security in coordination with the Public Prosecutor, and the arrests were made after an investigation and identification of the suspects. Legal steps are being taken against those involved, who have been referred to the Public Prosecutor.
The Chief of Public Security went on to note that such acts of vandalism do not come under the definition of freedom of expression protected by the law and therefore those arrested are not considered legitimate protestors. Instead, they aimed to cause chaos and endanger civil peace, which is not acceptable. He affirmed that maintaining security and ensuring public safety are the top priorities for the police and there will be zero tolerance for violations.
