An Imam and a reserve Imam were banned from delivering Friday sermons after they failed to show up to lead Eid prayers on Sunday. The congregation was instead led by an expatriate.

The criminal court released a man arrested on allegations of battery, after he spent two months in detention without charges, noting that any sentencing would likely be shorter than the time he had already spent in custody.

A man who had been reported missing since March 11 was arrested on charges of drug possession.
