A Kuwait criminal court has sentenced three members of the royal family to five-year prison terms each for insulting judges.

The royals and four other co-defendants were sentenced on Monday.

 They were initially accused of insulting Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah and fabricating videos incriminating high-ranking judges. 

The former head of Kuwait’s National Security Office Athbi al-Fahad Al Sabah, who is the ruler’s nephew, is among those convicted.
