​In a decisive move to uphold national security, the Public Prosecution has ordered the pre-trial detention of 13 individuals following intensive investigations into the dissemination of malicious rumors and false information.

The suspects are accused of using information technology platforms to broadcast content designed to incite sectarian strife and provoke violence.

​Serious Allegations Against National Stability

According to an official statement released on Friday, the defendants were involved in separate incidents aimed at undermining the nation’s social fabric. The Prosecution detailed that the circulated content sought to weaken the public's resolve and create divisions among citizens during a critical period for the country.

​Impact on Defense and Public Order

The investigations, supervised directly by Attorney General Counselor Saad Al-Safran, revealed that the published materials also aimed to spread panic and compromise the defensive readiness of the Armed Forces. Such actions, given the current exceptional circumstances, constitute a direct threat to state security, national unity, and public order.

​Legal Proceedings and Public Responsibility

Specialized investigative teams conducted immediate interrogations, leading to the decision to detain the suspects pending trial. The Public Prosecution reiterated its commitment to enforcing the law and safeguarding social stability.

​Furthermore, the authorities urged all citizens and residents to exercise high levels of national responsibility and awareness. They cautioned against following misleading news or digital content that could harm the nation's interests or defense capabilities, emphasizing that the disciplined use of social media is essential for maintaining public tranquility.
