Kuwaiti Laywer Mushari Al Tawil took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote:
“After issuing a final ruling against Fatima. We have concluded our closing argument before the criminal court. Therefore, we call on the executive authority to enact a law that protects the rights of individuals and change the poor traffic law that does not fit the reality of the situation. This is a message to every reckless person to be aware that people’s lives are not subject to bargaining.”
