KUWAIT CITY, July 29: An Iraqi woman has been arrested in Kuwait after allegedly posing as a spiritual healer and exploiting vulnerable individuals through black magic and sorcery in exchange for money.

The General Department of Criminal Investigation, under the Ministry of Interior’s Financial Crimes Division, apprehended the woman — identified as Iman Abdul Karim Abboud Kazim — during a carefully coordinated sting operation in the Adan area. Authorities say she falsely claimed to possess supernatural powers and the ability to solve people’s personal, financial, and family problems by performing rituals and predicting the unseen. Victims, desperate for solutions, paid her sums of money in the belief that she could change their fate.

Investigators launched the operation after receiving confirmed intelligence about her illicit activities. Following a period of surveillance, officers obtained a legal warrant and set a trap that led to her dramatic arrest. When apprehended, the accused was found in possession of various items used in sorcery, including amulets, ritual papers, herbal oils, padlocks, and talismans, allegedly used to convince her victims of her so-called powers.

She and the confiscated materials have since been handed over to the appropriate legal authorities for further action. The Ministry of Interior has urged the public not to fall for such fraudulent and illegal practices, warning that anyone involved in harming society through deception or superstition will be brought to justice. It also encouraged citizens and residents to report similar cases through official channels.

KUWAIT CITY, Sept 20: The Court of Cassation on Thursday upheld the acquittal of a blogger residing outside Kuwait on charges of spreading false news. It also upheld the acquittal of a former National Assembly election candidate who expressed his dissatisfaction with the appointment of undersecretaries in ministries on social media.

Meanwhile, the Criminal Court rejected the request to release a Saudi woman accused of beating her maid to death in Sabah Al-Nasser, hence, the continuation of her detention pending trial. This court also postponed the hearing of the case of a citizen and others accused of insulting a segment of society, until Oct 1.

Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal on Thursday sentenced former MP Bader Al-Dahoum to one year in prison, suspended the execution of the sentence, and set bail at KD 5,000. The court also ordered Al-Dahoum to maintain good conduct for three years to avoid serving the sentence. Al-Dahoum was convicted of insulting Constitutional Court judges during a seminar. Also, the Court of First Instance ordered the Public Authority for the Disabled Affairs (PADA) to amend a citizen’s disability classification to “severe disability,” thus overturning a previous classification of medium disability.

The court based its decision on official medical reports proving the citizen’s deteriorating health condition requires permanent care. Lawyer Ali Matar Al-Wawan, who represented the citizen, emphasized that the ruling is a significant victory for the rights of persons with disabilities and affirms judicial oversight over administrative decisions impacting individuals’ basic rights. He said the court invalidated the prior classification due to its lack of a sound medical basis and contradiction with the Ministry of Health’s reports. Al-Wawan added that this ruling sets an important precedent, allowing all persons with disabilities to review their classifications and claim their full rights in cases of administrative errors or negligence.
