Advantages of Not Publishing Drug Rulings
The article focused on the Kuwaiti Bar Association's call to its members not to publish or highlight judicial rulings in drug-related cases through media outlets and social media. The circular aims to regulate media engagement with these rulings to preserve the deterrent effect of the law, minimize their potential for negative exploitation, and reinforce lawyers' responsibility in supporting the national efforts to combat drug trafficking. Legal experts emphasized that this guidance does not infringe upon the right to defense but is meant to serve the community's interests. They stressed the importance of maintaining a balance between a lawyer's right to defend and their social responsibilities, as well as the need to protect the families of the accused and prevent the impression that there is impunity.
