Actress denied bail despite ‘wasta’
KUWAIT CITY, Jan 15: An actress whose identity has not been disclosed, has been arrested and detained at the Sulaibiya Police Station, reports Al-Rai daily.
The daily quoting security sources said when an unidentified personality tried to intervene on behalf of the actress to seek her release, Director-General of the Jahra Governorate Major-General Ibrahim Al-Tarrah refused to bow to pressure.
The daily added the actress was arrested last Thursday for what it called ‘misusing’ her cell phone.
She was initially released on bail but when the authorities discovered there were other charges against her the bail was rejected.
It has been reported the passport and personal documents of the actress have been impounded by the General Immigration Department for violating what it called residence laws.
