Kuwaiti courts of various levels have issued a series of decisive judicial rulings in multiple state security and cybercrime cases, as reported by Al-Anba newspaper.
The Court of Cassation upheld a final sentence convicting a defendant to five years in prison with hard labor for offending the Amiri status.
Judicial details confirmed that the suspect was found guilty of posting offensive statements against the Amiri Diwan via his personal social media accounts.
In a related context, the Court of Appeals (State Security Circuits) sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to six months in prison for insulting the Minister of Interior.
The ruling against the second defendant was issued after he recorded and circulated a video clip online containing expressions deemed offensive to the minister.
On another note, the Court of Appeals reviewed a separate case and acquitted a Kuwaiti citizen of charges related to offending a sisterly Arab country via a video.
The same court overturned a previous three-year prison sentence against a Twitter user accused of spreading false news and insulting an Arab country, declaring him innocent.
The appellate court based its acquittal on the absence of criminal intent and the insufficiency of the official evidence presented against the online user.
Concurrently, the Criminal Court issued a new ruling sentencing a defendant convicted of joining and promoting the internationally banned terrorist organization "ISIS".
These consecutive rulings reflect the firm enforceability of the Kuwaiti judiciary in protecting constitutional principles and maintaining diplomatic ties with friendly nations.
The judicial decisions emphasize the strict enforcement of cyber laws to deter legal violations across all social media platforms and digital networks.
Furthermore, the acquittal verdicts highlight the integrity of Kuwait's judicial framework, which evaluates cases independently based on legal facts and verified evidence.
