KUWAIT: MOI's security media and relations directorate yesterday announced that security forces arrested a bedoon named Ali Abdullah Al-Shemarri (born 1976) who appeared in a video circulated over social media networks while assaulting, insulting and humiliating the Egyptian, Ashraf Abu Al-Yameen ( Born 1981).

The directorate explained that the incident shown in the video took place almost 18 months earlier and said that the suspect made a detailed confession noting that he did so because of a theft from the mobile phone store he owns in Ahamdi where the Egyptian works.

The directorate also said that another Egyptian, Mohammed Owais ( born 1985) was also arrested for shooting the video and then posting it online on social media. The suspect justified posting the video after such a long period by having some financial disputes with the main suspect.

The victim was also summoned to complete the investigations. A case was filed and further investigations are in progress pending referring the two suspects to public prosecution.
