Bahraini state media reported that nine defendants were sentenced to life in prison for carrying out "hostile and terrorist acts" with the IRGC, and two others to three years for espionage. Prosecutors said some photographed strategic sites for the IRGC and others moved funds from Iran, including through cryptocurrency. The rulings come amid a crackdown that followed Iranian strikes on Bahrain; authorities detained 41 more people earlier in May.
