In another case, the Appeal Court will issue its sentence on February 27 in the case of five adults and two youths who are accused of torturing, raping, kidnapping and robbing.

The two youths, 13-17, are accused of captivating a Bahraini citizen who is 16 years old, imprisoning him and causing him psychological and physical damage.

The Public Prosecution referred this case to the High Criminal Court and Bahrain Youth Court regarding the two youths. Adults were sentenced for seven years in prison and the sentence was appealed.
