KUWAIT CITY, July 26: The Criminal Court has set the session of July 30 for the trial of a citizen, identified only as “A.M.”, who is accused of offending a segment of Kuwaiti society and violating the National Unity Law. The defendant was referred to court following investigations by the Public Prosecution into a complaint filed against him over statements attributed to him, which were deemed offensive and damaging to the social fabric, in violation of Law No. 19/2012 on the Protection of National Unity. The court will study the charges to determine whether the defendant’s actions constitute punishable offenses under the law. There have been growing public calls for strict enforcement of the law to deter anyone who incites sedition or threatens social cohesion.
