The Minister said that the targeting foreign communities and migrant workers, such as the attack on the British man on Friday, were not acceptable.
The Minister said that such acts were universally condemned and that they were also against the peaceful nature of Islam as well as the traditions and values of Bahrain. He explained that those who attack private property or members of the community, including members of the police force, are gang members that are knowingly breaking the law.
The relevant departments within the police force will conduct an investigation to find and arrest those responsible for their crimes.
“We hope that these criminals will have a fast trial so that they are an example to others who are thinking of committing similar crimes,” the Minister said.
The Minister called upon members of society, including activists and political societies, to condemn these acts so that the vandals know that their acts are rejected by everyone in Bahrain as they affect civil peace, national interests and the reputation of Bahrain.
