Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1313

Identifying the victim intended by the published article in the offence of affronting persons’ dignity criminalised by Article 21/7 of Law 3 of 2006 concerning Printing and Publication. A matter of fact. The condition for this. - The challenged judgment’s statement that the civil claimant is not the person intended by the published articles. Sufficient to support its acquittal. This is not undermined by the Public Prosecution’s criticism of the other ground on which the judgment was based, namely that the article’s expressions constitute permissible criticism, so long as the first ground suffices to support its ruling. The Public Prosecution’s objection in its appeal. A factual dispute concerning assessment of the evidence in the case. Impermissible before the Court of Cassation.
