Hamad Al-Naqi, a Kuwaiti Shia blogger, was sentence by a Kuwaiti court to ten years imprisonment for violating Article 15 of the National Security Law and Article 111 of the Penal Code. These charges stem from comments that he posted on Tweeter that criticized the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and insulted the Prophet Muhammed and his followers. His case was appealed on July 20, 2014, however, the lower court’s decision and sentence was affirmed.
