Kuwait executed six convicted individuals, including two Iranians
Kuwaiti media reported that six men, including two Iranians, two Kuwaitis, and two Pakistanis, were executed in the country. This is the first instance of carrying out the death penalty in Kuwait in the past two years.
Some of those executed had been awaiting the enforcement of their sentences for several years.
Kuwaiti and Arabic media, in their Friday, September 7th reports, have published various accounts regarding the gender and nationality of those executed.
According to Kuwait Times, the two Iranian citizens executed on Thursday were sentenced to death for the murder of a member of the Al-Sabah family, the ruling family of Kuwait, a Kuwaiti man in his seventies, and an Indonesian female servant during a robbery.
This crime occurred in 2016, and the two Iranians were sentenced to death at the end of a trial in 2019.
It is estimated that currently, dozens of male and female prisoners in Kuwait are awaiting execution.
