The Public Prosecution on Friday denied the reports with regard to dropping of criminal charges against doctors, nurses and paramedics suspected of involvement in recent events.
Prosecutor Wael Buallay said allegations that criminal charges have been dropped as posted on Al-Wasat website are “totally untrue and baseless”.
“The Public Prosecution did not drop any charges against the accused. It has no authority to interfere in such cases, such as those referred by the National Safety Court to the ordinary courts,” he said.
He pointed out that the role of the Public Prosecution is restricted to providing evidence to corroborate the cases referred to the courts.
“Some of the doctors, nurses and paramedics stand accused of committing felony crimes, which are referred to the National Safety Court,” he said.
He pointed out that twenty-eight other doctors, nurses and paramedics have been referred to ordinary civil courts for their involvement in committing misdemeanors.
Buallay urged the media to accurately report the truth by carefully checking the facts with the Public Prosecution to ensure the veracity of information.
