AFP reported, citing two judicial sources in Kuwait, that the country's criminal court sentenced three men to death for plotting the assassination of the deputy prime minister, collaborating with Iran and being members of Hezbollah. All three are from the Shia Muslim community, which makes up about a third of Kuwait's population. According to these sources, Hussein Abdullah Matouk, one of the religious figures and the secretary general of the National Islamic Coalition, is among the three people sentenced to death. Another of these people was previously convicted of terrorist acts in 2016, but was later pardoned by the Emir of Kuwait. That person is said to have been arrested again in April. According to these sources, these people are accused of harming national interests, collaborating with Iran, planning to assassinate the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior, and being members of Hezbollah. The Kuwaiti government considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization. This court also sentenced 11 other people who were related to this case to five years of hard labor. @VahidHeadline.
