The Criminal Court chaired by Judge Nayef Al-Dahoum sentenced the captain of a civil aircraft to six months in prison for posting tweets deemed offensive to Muawiyah bin Abi- Sufyan (RA). The accused was fined KD 500 to suspend execution of sentence. Public Prosecution charged the suspect for publicly offending the plaintiff via tweets he posted on his personal account on Twitter which degraded religious doctrine and offended a companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as confirmed by investigators; thus the prosecution insisted that necessary punishment was issued against him, according Article III of the Penal Code.
