Terrorists to be 
deprived of key govt services 
in Bahrain
2010-08-23
MANAMA -- People convicted of being involved in acts of sabotage and riots in Bahrain will be deprived of key government services such as free education and health treatment, a senior official has said.

The official told Al Ayam newspaper on Saturday that the government is ready to take stern measures against those who are proven to have been involved in terrorist activities.

"Everyone who participates in the violent acts and is found guilty will face a number of penalties beyond incarceration, including being excluded from housing services, scholarships, free medical treatment and any other service provided by the state."
What about their heads? Might terrorists be deprived of their heads?

More seriously, I wonder if this is being aimed at certain elements from the other side of the Gulf who've been making themselves at home ...
The official added that the state's relevant bodies will start auditing all employment applications and anyone found guilty of engaging in terrorism acts will also be beheaded banned from employment in the public sector. Students who are proven to be involved will be banned from receiving scholarships.

The official said that it is not fair that people who are working to destabilise the country get the same rights as loyal citizens when it comes to services provided by the state.
Citizens have a duty to support the basic rights, responsibilities and fabric of the country. A novel concept ...
