Kuwait Court Delivers Death Sentence

A criminal court in Kuwait has sentenced a Bangladeshi expatriate to death after finding him guilty of the premeditated murder of his friend.

According to prosecutors, the victim refused to remove the pictures despite repeated requests. The court delivered its ruling on Tuesday, November 3, following proceedings in which the defendant admitted his involvement in the crime.

Dispute Began Over Photographs Shared Online

During the proceedings, the defendant told the court that the victim had taken photographs of his wife during an earlier visit and later uploaded them to Facebook without permission.
