Kuwait Sentences Former MPs
The Kuwaiti Court of Cassation has overturned the acquittals previously issued for former MPs and activists, and has sentenced some of them to prison terms ranging from 2 to 3 years. Among those convicted are Muslim Al-Barrak and Salem Al-Namlán. They were convicted of spreading false and malicious news via Telegram and Twitter posts in defense of opposition figures, as well as charges related to challenging the powers of the Emir and disseminating rumors that could affect internal stability. The court deemed that what was published went beyond permissible criticism and damaged national interests and security.
