An appellant said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which the convicted person was acquitted of committing the crime of publishing an insulting article had erred in the application of law. He said that the court established its ruling on the grounds that the convicted person's intent was to achieve public interest though the article included phrases that hurt his reputation.

The court of cassation said that this argument was invalid. The court said that freedom of the opinion was protected by Article 1 and 21 of Kuwait Law No. 3/2006. The court said that the evaluation of the published material and whether it includes insulting content falls under the court's authority. The court said that the court considered the case properly and concluded that the convicted person did not intend to hurt the appellant's reputation. The court said that the court therefore established its ruling on a valid base.

The court dismissed the appeal.
