Kuwaiti woman is jailed for insulting Amir​

Posted on » Tuesday, June 11, 2013

KUWAIT: A Kuwaiti court sentenced a woman teacher to a total of 11 years in jail yesterday for insulting the Amir, inciting regime change and insulting a religious sect via Twitter, two sources close to the case said.

Huda Al Ajmi, 37, is the first woman known to have been convicted for criticising the Gulf state's ruler, described as "immune and inviolable" in the constitution.Kuwait has penalised several Twitter users in recent months for slurs against the Amir, Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah.The political trials have drawn rebuke abroad and anger at home.

The sources said the court had given Ajmi two consecutive five-year terms for insulting the Amir and one year for insulting an unspecified religious sect.

"This is the highest sentence of its kind in these kinds of cases," one source said.

Ajmi has not yet been taken into custody and can appeal the sentences, the sources said.In April a Kuwaiti court gave an opposition politician five years in jail for insulting the Amir, but an appeals court overturned the sentence.In February, US-based Human Rights Watch said prosecutors had charged nearly 25 people with offending the Amir, sentencing at least six to jail terms, since October.

Typical Sunni Arab dictatorship barbarism!


Some thing is happening in Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

(Qatar send a poet to 15 years in jail for a poem criticizing the Emir)

How come no major reaction from democracy loving Americans????


What do the Qataris get? Sanctions?

Instead Fat Shiekh are able to invest in America and soon there will be more Qatari **** like Al Jazeera in America!

One of the downfall of Muslims is that some countries/ people are over sensitive to insult and tend to actually worship a king/ personality. Punishment for expression of ill opinions were a thing of medieval times. Wonder when these lunatics are going to grow out of this small pea they call brain.

You can always offer to take her place. It will give you purpose in your life as well.
