Court Sentenced A Police Detective To 1 Month Imprisonment For Detaining An Innocent Citizen

The Misdemeanor Court sentenced a police detective stationed at Sulaibikhat Police Station to one-month imprisonment for detaining an innocent citizen and using force against him without leveling any charges against him. Representing the citizen was Lawyer Fawzia Al-Sabah, who affirmed in her press statement that the conviction and the verdict issued are decisive testimonies about the rule of law and respect for the law. She insisted that police officers are given the authority to protect people, not harm them. Lawyer Al-Sabah explained that the detective had forced her client into his car, after which he tied his hands to the back with a plastic cable, and then took him to the detectives section of Sulaibikhat Police Station. He then slapped her client and threw him on the ground. After that, another detective raised the victim’s legs and whipped him 30 times with a pipe. She urged the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior to conduct further investigations (fast track) to identify the other detective who helped in torching the citizen so that he can also be convicted. Lawyer Al-Sabah stressed that it is irrational to believe there are no cameras or occurrence record book which could help in identifying the second detective.
