It also stressed respect for judicial rulings and non-interference in the work of the judiciary, while continuing to provide the necessary support to the citizen, including helping her in appointing a lawyer to follow up her case.
The ministry added that a report was recorded at the police station explaining the theft of the identity papers of the citizenship and her brother, and that the necessary measures are being taken to grant her a temporary passport to facilitate her return to Bahrain once the case is closed. And allow her to leave Turkey by lifting the travel ban imposed on her.
She confirmed that she is closely following this issue in contact with the Bahraini embassy in Ankara and the Turkish embassy in Manama.
