Al-Riyati: Justice Minister Denied Appeal Despite Similar MP Requests
Deputy Hassan Al-Riyati reported that the Minister of Justice rejected the appeal request he submitted in his case, despite the fact that similar cases involving MPs who had verdicts issued against them saw their appeals approved. One MP was convicted of corruption charges and sentenced to three years in prison along with a fine, yet his appeal was accepted. Meanwhile, another MP received a one-year prison sentence with disqualification from running for office but was ultimately acquitted after appealing. Al-Riyati pointed out that legal experts considered the penalty imposed to be severe, and that he had submitted the appeal following proper legal procedures. However, the minister refused it, sparking a legal controversy over the appeal process.
