The court released the blogger without bail. The Public Prosecution had issued a decision to remand the blogger for 21 days in the Central Prison after it pressed the abovementioned charges against him.

‘Royal’ acquitted: The Criminal Court acquitted Sheikh Mesha’al Malik Al-Sabah against who a case was filed by the Amiri Diwan for allegedly violating the national unity law by calling for establishing a council of tribal leaders under the patronage of the state. He had called for establishing such a council based on the principles aimed at showing the civilized face of Kuwait as a united and modern country which includes unions, blocs and associations, as well as based on a sincere desire to enhance the national role of tribes in Kuwait.
