The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of spreading fake news about the internal circumstances in Kuwait. The office accused other defendants of organising a protest without legal licence. The office requested the court to penalise the defendants according to the relevant laws.

The court acquitted the first defendant. The court said that the consideration of the other defendants’ case did not fall under its jurisdiction.

The office appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

The office appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. The office said in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. The office said that the court had acquitted the first defendant although the elements of the crime had existed in his case.

The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court had considered all aspects of the case properly and established the ruling on the grounds of solid evidence.
