The Bahraini Ministry of Interior announced, on Friday, the recovery of its five citizens, who were “detained for security reasons” in the Yemeni governorate of Marib, at the beginning of last August.

She said in a statement published by the official news agency “BNA”: “The efforts and follow-ups carried out by the Ministry of Interior, during the recent period, resulted in the return of the five Bahraini citizens arrested in Yemen, on Thursday, to the country.”

The Bahraini Interior Ministry praised “the constructive cooperation shown by the official authorities in the Republic of Yemen.”

The statement indicated that “the five citizens were detained in Yemen last August for security reasons, and since then the competent authorities have initiated contacts with the official authorities in the Republic of Yemen, within a framework of security cooperation and coordination.”

He said, “The prescribed legal measures are currently being taken with the five citizens, and the necessary measures are being completed to ensure their security and public safety.”

Five Bahraini citizens were arrested last August and detained by the Yemeni security authorities in Ma’rib Governorate, after they crossed Yemeni territory from the Sultanate of Oman for the purpose of traveling to southern Saudi Arabia, according to what the Bahraini newspaper “Al-Ayyam” reported from their families. .
