Kuwaiti actress released on bail in drug possession case

The Public Prosecution has ordered the release of a Kuwaiti actress on 200 dinars bail after she was questioned over charges related to possessing narcotic substances for personal use.

In a decision that balances legal accountability with a focus on rehabilitation, authorities also placed the actress under medical supervision to begin a treatment program, according to media reports.

According to legal sources, the actress was confronted with the charges during the prosecution’s investigation and did not deny the charge of possessing drugs for personal consumption.

The drugs were reportedly found in her possession during a routine security inspection, and the case was referred to the Public Prosecution.

In light of the circumstances and evidence, prosecutors opted to grant her temporary release with the condition that she be subject to continuous medical evaluation and monitoring, signaling a move toward rehabilitation over incarceration in drug-related personal use cases.

While the actress’s identity has not been officially disclosed, the case has sparked public discussion on celebrity influence, substance abuse, and mental health treatment as an alternative to punitive measures. This approach reflects growing trends in judicial systems globally to treat addiction as a health issue rather than purely a criminal offense.
