A convicted Kuwaiti Twitter user living abroad announced that he would return home today (Thursday) to serve a jail term.
The Criminal Court convicted Musaid Al-Musailam of defaming the Amir of Kuwait in March 2016. The convict, who appeared in the defamatory video, was then repatriated from Qatar to Kuwait.
The Court of Appeal had also convicted him of possessing firearms without a licence but acquitted him of defaming the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He was then released from prison upon payment of bail of KD500.
