KUWAIT CITY, July 31: In a shocking bust that has sent ripples across Kuwait’s beauty industry, authorities have arrested an Egyptian national for posing as a plastic surgeon and carrying out illegal cosmetic procedures inside an unlicensed women’s salon in Sabah Al-Salem.

The man, identified as Ahmed Atta Ahmed Ali, a veterinarian by profession working with an agricultural contracting company, was caught red-handed by the General Department of Criminal Investigations under the Hawally Governorate. According to officials, he had been impersonating a cosmetic surgeon and operating without any medical license in a salon illegally converted into a cosmetic clinic. Security forces raided the premises and arrested the suspect at the scene, where he confessed to injecting cosmetic fillers for KD 50 per session—despite having no official qualifications or license from medical authorities

During the operation, investigators seized a range of unauthorized medical and cosmetic equipment, including injections, unlicensed substances, a medical-grade laser device, and other tools typically used in certified clinics. Three women (two Egyptians and one Kenyan) were also apprehended for assisting in the unauthorized cosmetic treatments.

Further investigations revealed that the salon is owned by Sahar Hatem Muhammad Saadawi, a woman whose Kuwaiti citizenship was recently revoked but is currently treated as a Kuwaiti under Article 8. Authorities discovered she is allegedly operating a network of six unlicensed salons and women’s health centers, posing a serious risk to public health.

The Ministry of Interior has confirmed that legal action is underway, and the case has been referred to the proper authorities for further proceedings.

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.
