Kuwait's Al-Tamayyuz jail for ex-MPs
The Kuwaiti Court of Appeal sentenced several former parliament members to prison and overturned their acquittals. The court issued rulings canceling previous judgments against 15 defendants, most of whom were former members of the dissolved National Assembly. The verdicts included convictions related to allegations of insulting the rights and powers of the Emir and broadcasting malicious news that harms the country's interests. These charges stem from cases involving insults to the Emir’s authority and dissemination of damaging information concerning internal security, with sentences ranging from one to three years in prison. These decisions follow the annulment of earlier acquittal rulings issued previously in their favor, which involved former MPs and officials, in connection with cases related to threatening the security and stability of the state.
