Court Upheld The Verdict That Acquitted 2 Kuwaitis Of Attacking And Defaming A Person

The Misdemeanor Court of Appeals upheld the verdict of the First Instance Court that acquitted two Kuwaitis of attacking and defaming a person on a WhatsApp group. The Public Prosecution Department charged the first defendant of creating a WhatsApp group and posting video clips deemed libelous to the plaintiff. He is said to have threatened the plaintiff when he refused to join hands with the first defendant to set up bogus companies. The second defendant was charged for conspiring with the first defendant to carry out the attacks. Although, the first defendant denied the allegations, the second defendant affirmed the plaintiff received KD 8,000 to facilitate the issuance of license for a company and found out the company was not registered while visiting the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, but he refunded the money on installment.
