Fine & Good Conduct Pledge Frees Ex-member Of Isis

The Court of Cassation upheld the verdict issued by a lower court to refrain from penalizing a Kuwaiti woman in her 20s who was accused of joining DAESH in Sinai, Egypt. The court also upheld the verdict issued to impose a fine of KD 500 and obligated her to sign a pledge of good conduct for a period of two years. Lawyer Dr Khalid Al-Khafifa explained that his client became a victim to the calls for “Jihad” made by some scholars. Previously, the Public Prosecution had charged the citizen with joining DAESH and being a member of the banned organization during the period from 2015 to April 26, 2017. She was also charged with committing aggressive acts against a friendly country and attempting to harm the relations between the two countries by traveling to Egypt with the aim of executing Jihadist operations in Sinai. Public Prosecution also charged her with using social media to promote the terrorism ideology of DAESH.
