The High Criminal Appeals Court will announce its verdict on October 28th in the appeal filed by a 30-year-old man sentenced to five years imprisonment and a 3,000 dinar fine. The man was convicted of providing manufactured hashish to a minor, inducing the child to use the drug, and endangering the child's well-being through acts of moral corruption. The court heard the appeal on October 13th.
The case centers around the testimony of the victim's mother, who discovered her son in an altered state, suspecting drug use. She took him to Salmaniya Medical Complex, where he revealed he had been with the defendant and three others in a vehicle.
He claimed they forced him to use an e-cigarette containing CBD, and gave him Larica, hashish, and shabu (methamphetamine). The mother, however, was skeptical, aware of her son's past experimentation with drugs.
She stated that she didn't believe her son was forced, but that the defendant facilitated and encouraged his drug use. She subsequently found a video on her son's phone, without his knowledge, showing the defendant placing a narcotic substance into an e-cigarette.
On the day the mother discovered the situation, the child was heavily under the influence of shabu. The video provided by the mother shows the defendant with the e-cigarette, adding a liquid substance using a needle.
