Kuwait City : Kuwait's Misdemeanour Court of Appeal acquitted a female journalist of beating and insulting an actress at the Kuwait International Fairground. As per reports, the Public Prosecutor charged the journalist with beating the actress on a sensitive part of her body. In a public place, the journalist and the actress exchanged insulting words in a manner that crosses the limits of honour. The defendant's lawyer Maryam Faisal Al Bahr argued that her client was innocent and insisted the accusations were fabricated.  Also added that the complainant's statement was not supported by any evidence. The lawyer added that "Therefore , the court cannot rely on the plaintiff's statement to attribute the incident to her client because of the unsatisfactory statements which are subject to suspicion and imagination."
