Misdemeanor Court Sentenced A Married Woman And Another Person To 3 Months In Prison With Hard Labor

The Misdemeanor Court of Cassation has nullified the verdict of the lower court that sentenced a married woman and another person to three months in prison with hard labor. The Supreme Court thereby pronounced the duo innocent of allegedly using social media “Instagram” to perpetrate immoral act.

The case file indicated the husband of the accused woman saw by chance the photo of his wife in an indecent manner on Instagram. He read a comment by an unknown person with a pseudonym consoling the woman over an incident that happened between them in their matrimony privately. He claimed to have seen the same picture on two other pages, and concluded that his wife was involved in an intimate affair with the other person.

In her defense, Lawyer Thamer Mubarak said the investigation revealed that the woman didn’t have any private affair with the man in question since there was no record of phone calls or other forms of communication between them. He said the Cybercrime Department also verified possible calls between the two accused but none was found. He pointed out the Court of Appeals didn’t carry out a thorough investigation to find out facts regarding the incident.
