KUWAIT: First Deputy Prime Minister and Defense and Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah affirmed on Wednesday that no one is above the law and the police’s top priority is Kuwait’s security. The interior ministry’s general directorate of security relations and media said in a press release that Sheikh Fahad received Dr Emad Yousef, who was falsely accused of drug possession.

He was acquitted after the General Administration for Drug Control revealed that he was innocent, adding that six people were charged, including military personnel working at the ministry, who planted drugs on him with the aim of removing him from the country. Dr Yousef expressed his appreciation to the minister for the good reception and the efforts of the security men in revealing the truth. — KUNA
