Bahrain, October 05: Three men arrested in connection with the kidnap and rape of a teenage boy appeared in court Sunday.
They are among four people standing trial in connection with the incident, in which the 16-year-old is said to have repeatedly been raped during an ordeal lasting several hours.
Three of the men – a Bahraini, a Jordanian and a Sudanese all aged in their early 20s – allegedly kidnapped him in November as he walked to a cold store with his younger brother in West Riffa.
Prosecutors claim they dragged him behind the cold store and bundled him into a car before driving him to an abandoned shed in Hunainiya, where they all raped him.
They then allegedly drove him to the home of their 27-year-old Bahraini friend in Riffa, who prosecutors claim also raped him.
