Judge Issa Al-Hazer presided over the Misdemeanor Court, which sentenced two expatriates, an Egyptian and an Indian, to two years of hard labor in prison followed by deportation upon completion of their sentence. The court also ordered the confiscation of the mobile phone. The accused had placed a camera inside a women’s restroom.

The Kuwaiti plaintiff’s legal team filed a civil complaint, claiming KD 5,001, and the court also ordered the case to be referred to the relevant civil court. A Kuwaiti woman discovered a hidden spy camera in the women’s restroom of a nearby bank in the Farwaniya Governorate, according to the case files.
