Three Siblings Severely Injured in Fatal Saar Crash: Condition Updates Released
Medical sources informed Al Ayam that 12-year-old Aya Ahmed, one of the children involved, underwent a complex surgical procedure to reinforce her bones with metal rods extending from her pelvis to her thigh. Aya has regained consciousness and is now responsive to medical staff and those around her. Doctors have described her condition as 'stable,' with close monitoring continuing.
Her 7-year-old brother, Abdulaziz Ahmed, remains in a highly critical condition. He is suffering from severe head trauma and multiple fractures and is currently under intensive observation in the ICU. Medical professionals have described his condition as 'in God's hands.'
Their older brother, 10-year-old Yousif Ahmed, initially responded well to emergency surgery after sustaining internal bleeding in the kidneys and abdominal area. Although he briefly regained consciousness, doctors later discovered a skull fracture that required him to be sedated again and placed back under intensive care.
The collision, which occurred on the road leading to Saar Mall, resulted in the immediate deaths of both parents at the scene. Since the news broke, the Bahraini community has been gripped by grief and rallied in solidarity with the surviving children.
In a heartfelt gesture of support, Karranah Primary Girls School and Jaber bin Hayyan Primary Boys School—where Aya and her brothers are students—announced the cancellation of graduation celebrations. The decision was made to honor the children and express solidarity with the grieving family, highlighting the deep sense of unity and compassion that characterizes Bahraini society.

Two Social Media Users Jailed for Violating Public Decency Laws in Bahrain
Bahrain's Third Minor Criminal Court has sentenced two individuals to six months in prison and fined each BD 200 for misusing their public social media accounts by posting content deemed offensive to public morals and societal values. The ruling also includes the confiscation of the mobile phones used in the incidents. One of the defendants was acquitted of an additional charge related to inciting immoral behavior. According to the Head of the Cybercrime Prosecution, the two cases were unrelated but both involved the public sharing of inappropriate content on widely followed social media accounts. The content was said to contradict Bahrain's public decency standards and violate applicable laws. The Public Prosecution received two separate reports from the Cybercrime Department at the Ministry of Interior, which had monitored accounts publishing or promoting material considered contrary to the country's ethical and legal standards. Following investigations, the suspects were identified and arrested. During questioning, both admitted to the charges. They were held in custody and referred to court, where the verdict was delivered today. The Head of the Cybercrime Prosecution emphasized that today's sentences serve as a deterrent not only to the individuals involved but also to others who may consider using public platforms to share inappropriate content. She also reminded the public that using social media comes with legal and ethical responsibilities, and that everyone must abide by the law and respect the values of Bahraini society.

Appeals court to rule on boatman convicted over fatal sea crash that killed two Bahrainis
The High Criminal Appeals Court will deliver its verdict on July 31 in the case of a boatman convicted over a sea crash that killed two Bahraini men. The defendant was earlier sentenced by the Minor Criminal Court to seven months in jail, fined BD1,150, and had his boat and nets confiscated. Bail was set at BD100, suspending the prison term pending appeal. Two Asian crew members were also sentenced to 40 days in jail and ordered deported for illegal fishing and overstaying their visas. Prosecutors accused the main defendant of causing death by negligence while operating the vessel under the influence of Pregabalin, a controlled substance he was not authorised to possess. He was also charged with multiple safety violations, including lacking essential equipment such as life jackets, a fire extinguisher, and first aid supplies. His vessel was also missing navigation lights and a tracking device, increasing the risk of collision. The court originally sentenced him to six months for manslaughter and breaching marine safety regulations, and an additional month plus a BD100 fine for drug possession. He was also fined BD1,000 for illegal bottom trawling and vessel misidentification, and BD50 for missing safety equipment. The crew received one-month sentences for unlawful fishing and an additional 10 days for immigration violations. They face permanent deportation after serving their terms. The incident occurred near Al Mohammadiya Islet, where two boats collided. The boatman was later found towing the damaged vessel near Malkiya, with one victim's body on board. The second body was recovered near Budaiya port. Civil claims related to the incident have been referred to the civil courts.
