Kuwaiti arrested for ‘attacking’ doctor
Municipality to honor workers
KUWAIT CITY, Jan 27: Police have taken into custody a Kuwaiti for insulting and threatening to stab a doctor while on duty at the Adan Hospital, reports Al-Rai daily.
According to the security sources the doctor called the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior and the man was arrested and taken into custody.
The daily added, this is a series of incidents of attacks on doctors and medical staff by irate patients who have no respect for laws and regulations.
This happened when the patient was told to wait for his turn when the doctor was already checking another patient, but the suspect barged into the examination room and demanded that he should be treated first.
A case of attempting to attack a government employee on duty has been filed against the Kuwaiti.
Honoring workers:
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Kuwait Municipality Workers Union, Chairman of the Arab Federation of Municipal and Tourism Workers, Mohammad Al-Aradah, said the union’s board of directors, under the patronage and in the presence of Minister of State for Municipal Affairs Walid Al-Jassem will honor distinguished Municipality workers of all governorates in appreciation of their distinguished efforts in February, reports Al-Rai daily.
Aradah indicated the workers who will be honored have made distinguished efforts to implement the law and dedication to serve the country and the citizens.
Woman acquitted: The Court of First Instance acquitted a Kuwaiti woman of verbally and physically assaulting her exhusband in public and threatening another person who intervened to stop the quarrel, says Al-Seyassah.
The case indicated the man accused his estranged wife of attacking him verbally and physically to the extent that he fell on the ground. He said the woman went ahead to attack a third party who tried to intervene and threatened another. Lawyer En’am Haider, in defense of her client, denied the allegation saying it was a cooked up story against the defendant. She declared that medical report did not reveal any injuries the man claimed to have sustained. She reiterated the allegations were vexatious rather than being real.
Company fined:
The Misdemeanor Court presided over by Judge Mohammad AlDousari imposed a fine of KD 1,500 on a cosmetic and accessories company, and ordered its closure for two weeks. The judge then referred the case to the Civil Circuit, says Al-Seyassah.
According to the case files, the Public Prosecution accused the company of intentionally attempting, via its legal representative, to deceive retailers/buyers with cosmetics of false brands, especially eyelashes, by portraying them as original.
The company was also accused of possessing a large quantity of imitated eyelashes which were intended to be sold as original brand. Lawyer Sakina Al-Muslim said the company violated the law for control of commercial fraud and the law overseeing trade in goods and services and craft work and determining its prices.
She also submitted a defense memorandum and a portfolio of documents that included an extract from Ministry of Commerce and Industry stating that the trademark imitated by the accused belongs to the victim’s company and requested at the conclusion of her defense to punish the defendant for being the cause for great material damages.
