Kuwait's Appeal Court has extended the imprisonment of former Bangladeshi MP Mohammad Shahid Islam alias Kazi Papul and two Kuwaitis to seven years from four years.
The others whose imprisonment were also increased include Kuwait's interior ministry's Assistant Under-Secretary Maj Gen Mazen Al-Jarrah and former MP candidate Salah Khorshid, reported Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Qabas.
The court, however, acquitted Kuwaiti MP Saadoun Hammad in its verdict delivered today.
Earlier on January 28, Kuwait's criminal court imprisoned for four years the former Bangladeshi MP, around eight months after Kuwait's Criminal Investigation Department arrested Papul, the managing director and CEO of Marafie Kuwaitia Group.
