YEREVAN. – The case of the 25-year-old Bahraini citizen, who was found and arrested in Armenia, is at the Ministry of Justice of Armenia, Ministry Information and Public Relations Department told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“A process is carried out in accordance with the law,” the department added.

According to a police press release, Bahraini citizen Fadhel R. was found and detained on January 1, at Zvartnots International Airport of Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan.

Fadhel R. is on Bahrain’s international wanted list ever since May 25, 2014 on charges of attempted murder, illicit trafficking of explosives, damaging public and private property, mass promiscuity, and terrorism.

Subsequently, he was arrested and taken to a Yerevan Police detention center.

On the next day, head of the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security of Bahrain announced that Fadhel R. had been sentenced to seven years in prison in Bahrain, and that measures are taken to have him returned to the country.

The Armenia-based human rights organizations, however, are very concerned about this because there are strict laws in Bahrain, and therefore Fadhel R. might be executed, if he is extradited to his country.
