Constitutional Court Adjourned To February 8 About Dna Law

22 December 2016 Crime News

The Constitutional Court adjourned to February 8 the petitions submitted by several citizens on the unconstitutionality of the DNA law, for summoning the National Assembly. The court also rejected three petitions submitted against the laws related to domestic workers, Fatwa and Legislation, and lineage arbitration committee. The DNA law was passed in 2015 by the parliament in its first and second session after which it was referred to the government for endorsement. According to the petitions, the explanatory document of the law denies that the law was prepared based on the desire of the legislator to facilitate the work of the security agencies and help them in executing their role effectively in terms of preserving security as well as reduce the time taken to identify those involved in any crime involving people, wealth and honor. The law also imposes punishment of one-year imprisonment and/or a fine of KD 10,000 on those who refuse to provide their DNA samples or obstruct acquisition of DNA sample from others.
