Bahrain’s Public Prosecutor appealed on Wednesday a court ruling which found Sheikh Ali Salman, secretary general of al-Wefaq group, Sheikh Hassan Sultan, a former member of parliament for al-Wefaq and a third senior al-Wefaq member, Ali Alaswad, not guilty in their trial for alleged spying for Qatar. Attorney General Osama Al Oufi said the Public Prosecution has completed the study of all the shortcomings found in the first instance court ruling in the case of intelligence links with a neighboring country. Based on the conclusions, the Prosecution appealed the ruling and the High Court of Appeals decided to consider the objection on September 5. “The verdict included many errors in application of the law and objected to the shortcomings in the analysis of the strong evidences supporting the case,” the attorney said. He explained that the case was fully supported by irrefutable evidences, which undoubtedly proved the defendants had established intelligence links with a neighboring country to commit hostile acts against Bahrain to undermine its national interest. “Major evidence is the recordings of the telephone conversations between the first and second defendants and Qatari officials,” Al Oufi said. There is also the fact that the first defendant Ali Salman confessed during his questioning that he played a part in the telephone conversation with the second strong man in that country which included their agreement and coordination regarding Bahrain’s internal situations and steering the chaotic rioting incidents in the Kingdom to obstruct the national efforts aimed to contain them, he added. The attorney general affirmed that the foreign intelligence connection was proven against its parties, both inside Bahrain and abroad, asserting that the Public Prosecution will implicate all the parties involved in this crime in the case through the considerably strong available evidences, adding that it is the branch of the judiciary which is entrusted with this lawsuit. “The Public Prosecution will not consider any external statements which might affect its own duties, the national security of the Kingdom or its internal affairs," Al Oufi said.
