Two men have each been sentenced to three years in prison and fined BD2,000 for human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

The High Criminal Court also ordered them to cover the cost of returning the victim to her home country and ruled they be permanently deported from Bahrain once their jail terms are served.

Report

The Trafficking in Persons Prosecution said the case began with a report from the Anti Human Trafficking Directorate at the General Directorate of Crime Detection and Forensic Evidence.

Investigators alleged the men had promised the woman a job in Bahrain, but on her arrival confined her in a flat and threatened her to force her into prostitution.
