KUWAIT CITY, April 21: The Court of Appeal issued its ruling in a case involving a Kuwaiti citizen, a female Kuwaiti citizen, and residents, who were accused of unlawfully arresting and detaining a Lebanese doctor, kidnapping him, possessing narcotic and psychotropic substances, and forging an official document. The court overturned the first-instance ruling and imposed a five-year prison sentence on two Kuwaiti soldiers, a female doctor, two Bedouns, and an Iraqi female expat, along with a fine of 5,000 dinars. The defendants were convicted on charges of kidnapping, illegal detention, forgery, and possession of narcotics without intent to trade or use. The Public Prosecution revealed that two of the defendants, who were security personnel in the Ministry of Interior, stopped the victim, planted narcotic and psychotropic substances in his vehicle, and fabricated a false case to have him deported, with the involvement of the other defendants.
