The Criminal Court released two female citizens — who were accused of committing ‘violent acts’ on board a Kuwait Airways flight from Bangkok, Thailand — on bail of KD1,000 each, reports Al-Rai daily.

In the recently concluded court session, Attorney Abdul Mohsen Al-Qattan — lawyer for the accused — requested the court to release his clients on bail (any amount the court deems fit), affirming they are not a flight risk.

The court set another hearing on July 14 for the lawyers of both sides to present their arguments and pieces of evidence.
