Category: Crime News

The Court of Appeals on Monday will deliberate on the case filed against 70 Kuwaitis, including nine former lawmakers, accused of storming the National Assembly premises. Case files indicate the prosecution cited misleading evidence, inference, manipulation of documents, wrong application and distortion of the law as reasons for appealing the previous verdict on the acquittal of all defendants. The prosecution also urged the higher court to overturn the verdict of the lower court and then impose harsh penalties on the accused, whereas the defense team asked the court to listen to the testimonies of their witnesses.
