KUWAIT: Kuwait’s criminal court has released a 22-year-old female citizen in a drug abuse case. The court, headed by Judge Dr Khaled Al-Omairah, told the defendant, “You are the daughter of a decent family. Live a decent life and don’t ruin your life or that of your family.” In another development, a criminal court headed by Judge Ahmed Al-Saddi sentenced a bedoon to three years in prison with labor for falsifying a ruling that was issued in 1972, obliging the Interior Ministry to issue a nationality certificate.

The accused tried to implement the judgment issued ‘in an executive form’ by going to the Department of Nationality and Passports. He demanded the implementation of the judgment issued in favor of his deceased father, and upon checking the judgment, detectives found out that the judgment number does not exist and that the document was forged. He was referred to the Public Prosecution, which later investigated and charged him.
