Judicial sources said on Thursday that three people were sentenced to 10 years in jail while three others received prison terms of three years. The court also fined the six suspects 500,000 dinars each.
The High Criminal Court issued the rulings after convicting them of allegedly carrying out the gas kaboom in front of the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) in early 2017 and taking part in an unlawful assembly and rioting.
In recent months, Bahrain has executed several young activists by firing squad after handing them death sentences.
On Wednesday, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) condemned the kingdom’s persistence on passing death sentences against anti-regime activists, calling the practice an "inhuman punishment".
The center further noted that the Bahraini judiciary has overused death penalty
in recent years, particularly with regards to freedom of opinion and expression in addition to the exercise of political rights.
