The Court of Appeal upheld death sentences for three Iranians caught by the coast guard near Kobar Island with more than 120 kilograms of hashish and 10,000 psychotropic pills. They confessed and said each would be paid KD10,000 for delivering the shipment. The case confirmed that cannabis resin trafficking can still end in a death sentence.[1]
