Court sessions postponed in Diplomatic Area and Riffa amid precautionary measures

Court proceedings were administratively postponed this morning after several lawyers attended hearings in the Diplomatic Area but were informed that no defendants in criminal cases would be brought before the court.

Those present were notified that all sessions had been deferred until a specified later date as part of precautionary measures. Authorities indicated that the decision on whether to resume court operations will be reassessed next week, depending on how the situation develops.

Sources confirmed that the suspension applies broadly across the judicial system. The postponement covers all categories of cases, including civil, criminal, and Sharia court sessions held in Riffa.

The move is understood to be part of wider administrative steps aimed at ensuring safety and maintaining order during the current period of uncertainty. Further updates regarding the resumption of hearings are expected following next week’s review.
