A man is on trial for allegedly attempting to smuggle 66 pills of crystal m**h into the country.

The 21-year-old swallowed the drug with a street value of more than BD50,000.

The Pakistani man appeared at the High Criminal Court yesterday for the first time where he denied bid to smuggle the drug.

He was apprehended at Bahrain International Airport (BIA) on September 20 after he aroused the suspicion of authorities. He was subsequently taken to Salmaniya Medical Complex where an X-ray revealed the presence of narcotics, locally known as shabu, in his stomach.

Two other fellow nationals, who met him following a sting operation, have also been implicated in the case. The defendant said he had met a man at his brother’s funeral in Pakistan, who promised to give him BD850 if he smuggled the drug into Bahrain.

“I don’t use drugs but I attempted to smuggle them because I needed money,” he said in his statement to prosecutors.

The number of fatal occupational accidents dropped from 26 in 2016 to 14 to date this year.

This is due to the intensive awareness campaigns carried out by the Labour and Social Development Ministry, said safety department safety and guidance head Hussain Al Hussaini.

“The aim of the ministry’s occupational safety and health section is to protect the labour force, reduce occupational accidents and injuries, raise awareness among employers and employees, develop occupational safety legislation and training standards for OSH (occupational safety and health) programmes,” he said.

“We conducted several on-site workshops in various sectors including construction, factories, industrial, transportation and others.

“Through these specialised events, we aim at raising awareness among employers so that they ensure preventive measures against worksite occupational accidents.”

Mr Al Hussaini was speaking to the GDN on the sidelines of an event to mark Bahrain Safety Week, organised by engineering consultancy firm ESB International Bahrain at the Swiss-Belhotel, Seef.
