“The punishment under the Kuwaiti laws for violation of drug related crimes are often very severe and may lead to life imprisonment or even execution. Moreover, in Kuwait a person is considered guilty until he/she is proven innocent and that the person knew nothing about the drugs makes it often very difficult to prove,” it added.

“Bail in such cases is usually not given and one has to spend several months in detention while the case progresses through the judicial system,” the statement said.

There is more than 8 lakh Indians residing in Kuwait, according to a data from the Indian Embassy.

The Embassy has requested Indians to strictly obey the rules and regulations regarding the laws about drugs in Kuwait. It also asked travellers to remain attentive so that drug dealers might not hide drugs in others luggage at the airport.iiintitled
