KUWAIT CITY, May 19: The Court of Cassation has upheld the verdicts issued by both the Court of Appeal and the Criminal Court, sentencing a Kuwaiti university student to three years in prison with hard labor. The student was convicted of insulting the Amir and inciting the overthrow of the regime through articles posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) using a fake account.
During the trial, the defendant denied all charges, claiming that her account had been exploited by an expatriate residing outside Kuwait. She stated that this individual had threatened her and warned her not to delete the tweets and articles that were published under her name.
