KUWAIT CITY, April 1: The Kuwait court commuted the prison sentence imposed on a citizen from 10 years to five years for joining and financing the ISIS and insulting HH the Amir, while it upheld the fine of KD1,554 and ordered the destruction of the confiscated items.
The prosecution charged the defendant with joining and pledging allegiance to a banned terrorist organization, promoting its ideology, financing it through bank transfers and cryptocurrencies, and insulting HH the Amir. State Security investigations affirmed his communication with members of the organization abroad and his use of electronic means for this purpose. He was arrested and devices used for promotion and communication were found in his possession. During the investigation, the defendant confessed to joining the organization in 2024, adopting its ideology, and allocating a portion of his salary to financially support it.
