Kuwait court upholds 10-year jail term for Twitter user

A banner with the Twitter logo on the front of the New York Stock Exchange on November 7, 2013 in New York Kuwait's top court on Monday upheld a 10-year jail sentence for a Shiite Twitter user for insulting the Prophet Mohammed and his wife and companions. Hamad al-Naqi, 24, was also charged with insulting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and spreading false news that undermined Kuwait's image abroad, the verdict said. Naqi, a member of Kuwait's Shiite minority, denied the accusations, saying his Twitter account was hacked. Human Rights Watch strongly criticised the sentence and urged authorities to immediately release him after the appeals court confirmed the sentence in October last year.
