18 July 2017 Crime News

The Court of Appeals presided over by Judge Al- Durai adjourned to September 11 the case filed against 70 Kuwaitis, including nine former lawmakers, who were accused of storming the National Assembly building. The case was adjourned for the defense team to present witnesses. In the last court session, the defense team had presented several defendants, requesting to call MP Abdullah Al-Roumi to testify about the incident, which took place when he was a member of the parliament office. According to the case files, the Public Prosecution cited misleading evidences, inadequate interferences, manipulation of documents, and wrong application and distortion of law as reasons for appealing the previous verdict, which had acquitted the defendants from all charges leveled against them. It also urged the court to overrule the verdict issued by the lower court and instead impose harsh penalties on the defendants. However, the defense team asked the court to listen to the testimonies of their witnesses.
