Cassation Court Upheld The Verdict Who Was Accused Of Posting Remarks On Twitter

The Court of Cassation upheld the verdict issued by the Court of Appeals which acquitted a blogger, Nasser Al-Sumait, who was accused of posting remarks on Twitter which can be deemed as offensive to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Public Prosecution had charged Al-Sumait of manifesting hostility against a friendly country without the permission of the Kuwaiti government, and of carrying out his actions publicly through his personal account on social networking site “Twitter”. It stressed that Al-Sumait’s actions are able to jeopardize the relations between the two countries and sever the diplomatic ties, given that he intentionally offended Saudi Arabia by misusing his mobile phone.
