Kuwaiti And Expat Celebrities Breaking Social Decency To Be Punished

Kuwaitis and expatriate celebrities will be severely punished for publishing pictures or clips on social media that violate public decency laws, vowed the Public Ethics and Cybercrime Department of the Ministry of Interior, Al-Anba daily reported, quoting reliable security sources.

Higher authorities have issued instructions to deport expatriates to their respective countries immediately and adding their names to the list of persons barred from entering the country. Kuwaitis will be summoned and given a warning, and made to sign a pledge of good conduct or referred to the Public Prosecution depending on the severity of the offense.

The daily said, quoting a source that the issue was not subject to whims, but the summons will be issued depending on the evidence of deliberate violation of customs, traditions and rules of modesty without any justification, and stressed that while freedoms are guaranteed, it is not permitted to show off disruptive behavior by publishing inappropriate or shameful pictures.

Criminal Security Sector has maintained a list of names of personalities who have recently published unacceptable material across their social media, which will be investigated for action to be taken. The daily said, quoting source that indecency will not be tolerated.

Providing examples of deportation for erring online media celebrities, the daily highlighted the deportation of Lebanese TV presenter Sazdel within 72 hours of her arrest,  and the arrest of an Iranian ‘Fashionista’ for publishing pictures on social media, which the Ministry of Interior decided was ‘vulgar’ and as punishment, she was deported.

The daily said, quoting a source that the Iranian provided no explanation to justify the clips and pictures on her account, and the account of others, some of which were deemed as ‘vulgar’. Also reported was the arrest of a well-known Kuwaiti woman, who was sent to the Public Prosecution for publishing a clip that was in clear violation of public morals, a security source said yesterday.

A Kuwaiti Fashionista and her husband were also arrested after she posted a clip on social media, which they considered contained unacceptable connotations that went against public morals. The ministry emphasized the Cyber Crime Department monitors and follows up on any pictures and videos published on social media that violate public morals and does not tolerate anyone who misuses social media platforms regardless of reasons.
