On Thursday morning at 7:00 am, Kuwait executed six individuals by hanging at the Central Prison. This marks a significant legal event as all of the convicted had their cases pass through various stages of litigation, ensuring their sentences were fully ratified. Authorities confirmed that all necessary legal procedures had been thoroughly followed.

The individuals executed included three Kuwaiti citizens, two Iranians, and one Pakistani national. The death sentences were carried out after all legal avenues were exhausted, demonstrating the strictness of Kuwait's judicial system.

In a dramatic turn of events, a seventh convict was spared execution at the last moment. The family of the victim chose to accept blood money, leading to the convict’s release. Under Kuwaiti law, families of murder victims have the right to pardon the offender in exchange for financial compensation.

The executions have sparked discussions about Kuwait’s capital punishment laws,
