Court Sentenced Hashash To 5 Years In Prison For Violating State Security Laws

The Criminal Court sentenced, in absentia, Twitter user Sager Al-Hashash to five years in prison for violating State Security laws. The Public Prosecution charged Al-Hashash after the security agencies accused him of posting statements deemed offensive to the entity of HH the Amir on Twitter. This is the second conviction of Al-Sager who had earlier been sentenced to 15 years in jail for offending the judiciary, casting doubt on the integrity of the judicial system, and spreading false news about the internal situation of the country. Previously, Al-Hashash, who is on the run, was also sentenced by the Court of Cassation to 10 years in jail for misusing his mobile phone, giving tips on how to make a Molotov bombs (petrol bombs) for illegal schemes, and instigating others to make and use such bombs.
