Ruling Annulled As Kuwaiti Acquitted Of Carrying Drugs

The Criminal Court cancelled the verdict issued in absentia against a Kuwaiti citizen who was sentenced to two-year imprisonment with hard labor and imposed a fine of KD 1,000 over allegations of possessing methamphetamine. The arresting officer testified that he was patrolling Al-Oyoun area when he noticed a vehicle in an isolated desert area. The citizen was accompanied by a number of his friends in the vehicle. He approached the vehicle and asked the group why they are hanging around in such an area. Immediately, all of them ran away except for the defendant who was in a disoriented state. The defense counsel Lawyer Abdulmohsen Al-Qattan stressed that the lawsuit does not include any evidences to prove the drugs obtained from the vehicle belongs to his client.

The court upheld the verdict issued by the Court of Appeals which refrained from issuing punishment against the blogger and ordered him to pay financial guarantee of KD 5,000 for maintaining good conduct and behavior.
