The Amiri Diwan had lodged a complaint, claiming that Al- Wasmi posted on his Twitter account accusations without providing evidence. Representing Dr Al-Wasmi was Lawyer Adel Al-Abdulhadi who revealed that the interrogation with his client lasted for nearly four hours, during which he denied the accusation of insulting and slandering the Amiri Diwan, represented by its minister and employees. Lawyer Al-Abdulhadi said Dr. Al-Wasmi highlighted during the investigation that he, as an academic professor specialized in law, directed a criticism aimed at advising the Amiri Diwan against the background of its undertaking projects that are primarily the concern of other ministries.
