NO country in the world demands imprisonme­nt for electronic crimes except Kuwait. In other parts of the world if someone is insulted or abused the crime is punishable by a fine or compensati­on, not imprisonme­nt, except in Kuwait.

Compensati­on is better and it is more effective, but this does not happen in Kuwait. Of what benefit is imprisonme­nt for the victim? To the contrary the government will have to spend on the prisoner much more than the fine or compensati­on.

The fine and compensati­on is the biggest deterrent, safe and less costly to the treasury.

Yet, tomorrow is another day.
