So much for free speech! Islamic law, or Sharia, is a main source of legislation in Kuwait, so where do these laws come from?——
Cybercrime law: This law allows for up to 10 years in prison and fines for online speech that criticizes the government, religious figures, or foreign leaders.
Criminal libel laws: These laws restrict free expression and media.
Laws against insulting the leadership: It’s illegal to criticize the Amir, Crown Prince, or Prime Minister.
