2 Years Jail For Tweets!
Kuwaiti man has been sentenced to two years in prison for “insulting tweets” by Kuwait’s lower court. Hamad Al Khalidi, known as an “opposition tweeter” was given two years in jail on charges of insulting the Gulf state’s ruler, The Commentator has learned.
“Al Khalidi has been sentenced to two years in jail with immediate effect,” the director of the Kuwait Society for Human Rights, Mohammad Al Humaidi, said on his Twitter account. The story swiftly follows the news that a Palestinian man was sentenced to six months in prison for an insulting Facebook “like” directed at Palestinian Authority officials.
Al Khalidi was charged in Kuwait with apparently writing remarks on his Twitter account deemed offensive to the Emir, Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah. While the verdict is said to be “not final”, his jailing was immediate pending an appeals process.
Jasser Al Jadaei, Al Khalidi’s lawyer, said the defendent will file an appeal later on Sunday and seek an early hearing in an attempt to overturn the verdict.
Al Khalidi is one of dozens of opposition activists and former MPs who have either been sentenced to various jail terms or are on trial on similar charges in Kuwait, as an apparent crackdown on political opposition picks up pace.
