Kuwait’s Royal Court Case
August 12th, 2008 by Adam
The Los Angeles Times reports on an interesting court case in Kuwait in which, Talal Nasser al Sabah, a member of Kuwait’s royal family was sentenced to death for drug trafficking. The case is “….viewed as a test of sorts, to see whether the country’s rampant nepotism can trump the independence of the judiciary.” Kuwait’s emir can commute the sentence, but in the past Kuwait has held its royal family responsible for wrongdoings, including jailing members for corruption.
