Kuwaiti emir pardons those who insulted him
By landloverreview •
Kuwait's ruler has used the opportunity of Ramadan - the month of fasting associated with forgiveness - to pardon all those convicted of offending him.
The announcement on Wednesday is an apparent effort to help defuse political tensions after last week's parliamentary elections in the Gulf nation.
"On the occasion of the last 10 days of Ramadan, I am pleased to issue an emiri pardon for those who have been handed jail terms on charges of insulting the emir," Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah said in a televised speech.

You both right,, But we've discussed that before in another thread.
Now they are not in Jail anymore.
Pardoned for what? They should never have been jailed, its a charter open to abuse and its pathetic.
Brit I would hardly say the good news keeps rolling in!
They should never have been in jail in the first place!
It's ridiculous that you could be sent to jail for insulting someone! Its also pretty obvious they were only released for political purposes!
Very good news
Happy for the poor prisoner
Do the crime n wait for Ramdan!!!
BTW Emir's move is good on innocent prisoners.
i'm bit curious whether it's for publicity or what
Great news. First the alleged rape victim is pardoned in the UAE and now this..
The good news keeps rolling in ..
