Al-Arabi Club president jailed 3 months for insulting official

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 7: The Misdemeanor Appeals Court has sentenced Abdel Aziz Ashour, the President of Al-Arabi Club, to three months in prison on charges of insulting a judicial official. According to the Public Prosecution, Ashour, along with others, was accused of undermining the respect owed to a judge of the Court of First Instance. The charges stemmed from a video interview shared on Ashour’s Instagram account, in which statements were made that allegedly questioned the judge’s integrity and adherence to legal principles.
