In 2020, Kuwaiti authorities summoned Abdullah Al-Nafisi, for investigation into a charge of “insulting the UAE” on the basis of a tweet he posted in 2017.[5] Al-Nafisi affirmed his keenness to attend without absence or delay in all cases he was brought before the prosecution and the judiciary according to the Kuwaiti press.[6]
