KUWAIT CITY, 16 January 2004 — Kuwait will hang a convicted Pakistani drug dealer in public, a form of punishment not often carried out in the emirate, the Arab Times newspaper reported yesterday.
Fadhl Sherin Sharif will be hanged publicly at a police station in the capital, Kuwait City, under the supervision of Prosecutor General Judge Hamid Al-Othman at a date to be set soon, the paper said citing judicial sources.
Kuwait’s criminal court convicted Sharif of dealing in heroin and was sentenced to death. An appeals court upheld the verdict.
