Court Of Appeals Overturned The Verdict Of Lower Court And Dismissed Lawsuit Filed By An Expat

The Court of Appeals recently overturned the verdict of the lower court and dismissed a lawsuit which was filed by an expatriate seeking KD 100,000 compensation from the ministries of Interior and Justice and the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) for allegedly keeping him behind bars after accusing him of committing a crime related to drugs, reports Al-Rai daily. The daily added the plaintiff filed the case after the court acquitted him of the charge and proved his innocence. However, the court ordered PACI to pay him KD 3,000 compensation. Case papers indicate the expatriate was arrested upon arrival at the Kuwait International Airport and detained for two months. It was proved later that an unidentified person agreed with an employee working at the PACI to issue him a civil ID carrying his photo and the name of the expatriate and he was arrested for trafficking in drugs.
