Bahraini prince arrested for being drunk and disorderly on BA flight
July 29, 2012
So much for Ramadan… A drunk Arab prince was threatened with 50,000-volt Tasers by gun cops after trying to storm the flight deck of a British Airways jet.
The billionaire, 28 — who was sozzled by 10am — had jumped up from his £2,700 First Class seat to complain to the captain about “poor” service before the Boeing 777 took off from Heathrow to Bahrain.
Crew members called armed cops, who pointed stun guns at the prince after he refused to calm down.
The royal — said to be a close relative of Bahrain’s King Hamed bin Isa Al Khalifa — was hauled off Flight BA125 and taken to the West London airport’s police station. The prince had his DNA, mugshot and fingerprints taken before being released on bail.
A passenger said: “We were terrified when the armed police came on and started pointing Tasers at him.”
A BA spokesman confirmed a customer “was off-loaded from the London to Bahrain service” and appeared to be “intoxicated”. Scotland Yard said a man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
From Digital Journal:
The consumption of alcohol is allowed in Bahrain, but only for non-Muslims. In 2010 the Shura Council approved a ban on all Muslims drinking alcohol in the tiny Gulf state. Under Bahraini law the penalty for a Muslim drinking alcohol is a three-year jail sentence. However, Gulf royals often flout the Islamic rules they impose on their subjects, indulging in alcohol and other prohibited activities.
Now, about non-royals.

Bahrain: Woman Charged With Smoking in the Day During Ramadan

A woman has been charged with insulting Ramadan as she smoked a cigarette during daylight hours while she was being questioned at Bahrain International Airport.
According to Gulf Daily News, the 32-year-old Egyptian woman, whose name was not disclosed, was stopped by the airport’s officers who wanted to search her luggage.
As she refused, the officers escorted her to the lieutenant’s office for questioning.
The woman allegedly insulted the lieutenant, knocked off his hat and then smoked a cigarette.
“I had a cigarette as I was not fasting because I was travelling,” the woman said in her statement to prosecutors.
“I needed to travel back to my home country for Ramadan and I was late to board my flight.
“I accidentally knocked off the policeman’s hat because I was waving my hands around trying to explain to him that I was late for my flight and that’s why I did not want a thorough examination of my luggage.”
As well as smoking a cigarette during daylight hours, the woman was also charged with insulting a police officer.
She was released on 500 Bahrain dinar (£775; $1326) bail by the Lower Criminal Court.
The trial was adjourned until 14 July.

Bahrain hotels warned against hosting illegal activities
Our Correspondent / 13 July 2014
Bahrain’s Culture Ministry has banned selling and serving of alcohol or hosting any shows with Arab and foreign artists at three-star hotels.
The ministry said in a statement on Friday that the decision has been taken following reports of some immoral activities taking place in some hotels. The ministry warned of legal action against violators.
Similar decision was implemented in 2009 for one and two-star hotels. Although the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry backed the decision of the ministry, it urged for a grace period to protect the owners and investors of those hotels from major losses. The ministry said that a series of meetings were held with owners and managers of such hotels before taking the decision which should not come as a surprise to them.
