Kuwait’s highest appeals court has issued a final seven-year jail sentence for a Kuwaiti Interior Ministry officer convicted of severely injuring a Bangladeshi expatriate worker during a dispute over a car wash in 2023.


The Court of Cassation handed down this irrevocable ruling against the officer, who was found guilty of assaulting the worker and causing him permanent quadriplegia — paralysis of all four limbs.

Court also orders him to pay compensation for material and psychological damage.
