A Pakistani artist, Farhan Al-Ali, was sentenced to prison for a two-year term with hard labor, and incurred a fine of KD1,000 dinars by the Criminal Court. He will be deported from the country after the end of the prison term. The Pakistani artist participated in many TV and theatrical projects in Kuwait, before being arrested for posting an indecent video on the social networking site “Snapchat”.
Al-Ali, who resides in Kuwait, confessed to the crime during investigations by Public Prosecution on charges of “insulting modesty,” even though he had previously justified his action saying that his account was hacked.
