| Bahrain's Defence Force (BDF) will take charge of national security and impose curfew at specific places under the present state of emergency, the Bahrain News Agency reported Tuesday.
"Necessary action will be taken against anyone flouting the law," BDF's military judiciary director said in a statement to Bahrain News Agency, adding that under the present state, there will be restrictions placed on movement in certain areas.
In addition, certain locations will be evacuated and rallies disrupting the public order will be banned. "Suspects will also be tracked down and arrested to face charges. BDF appeals all citizens and expatriates to abide by the state of national safety measures," the official said.
Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on Tuesday declared a three-month state of emergency with immediate effect and delegated BDF Commander in Chief Marshal Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa to take necessary measures. |
