KUWAIT CITY, June 30: The Court of Cassation has upheld the death sentence handed down to an Egyptian school guard convicted of kidnapping, assaulting, and unlawfully detaining an Egyptian female teacher inside the art room of a school in the Ahmadi Governorate.
The incident occurred when the guard forcibly took the teacher into the art studio, inside school premises, physically restrained her, and taped her mouth shut to prevent her from screaming. He then assaulted her at knifepoint.
Both the Criminal Court and the Court of Appeals had previously sentenced the man to death by hanging, based on strong evidence and medical reports that confirmed the assault. In its ruling, the Criminal Court emphasized that the crime took place in what should have been a secure environment, describing the act as a severe breach of trust and a blatant violation of human dignity, warranting the harshest possible punishment.
