Kuwaiti jailed 3 years for inciting lewdness

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 7: The Criminal Court sentenced a citizen to three years in prison with hard labor and fined him KD5,000 for violating public morals and inciting others to engage in debauchery and immorality through the video clips he posted on his Snapchat account. Confidential investigations conducted by the Cybercrime Department in the Interior Ministry confirmed that the accused committed immoral acts.

The evidence included documented recordings and electronic correspondence that convicted him of publicly inciting deviant behavior. The Cybercrime Department confirmed in its report that the defendant’s actions are considered a blatant violation of societal values and a serious breach of the law; hence, the need to impose the maximum penalty to serve as a deterrent and to protect the moral fabric of society.
