Court Sentenced A Citizen To 5 Years In Prison For Joining Is

The Court of Cassation overturned the verdict of the Court of Appeals which acquitted a citizen of joining a banned organization known as ‘DAESH’. The higher court then sentenced the citizen to five years in prison with hard labor for involvement in the State Security case. The Public Prosecution had earlier charged the citizen with performing, without the government’s permission, hostile actions against a foreign country (Syria) by joining a militia group there, where he was trained on how to fight and handle weapons. The prosecution considered the defendant’s action a threat to Kuwait and harmful to political relations with the aforementioned country. It also accused him of participating in hostile campaigns with the banned group whose main objective is to instigate chaos in Kuwait. The group aims to disrupt prevailing rule of order so the defendant was also charged with funding the ISIL willingly.
