Halimah Boland's lawyer, Meryam Al-Bahr, a close friend of journalist Ibrahim Hassan, confirmed in exclusive statements to the "Al-Arabiya.net" website that the acquittal ruling for the Kuwaiti artist was issued today, Sunday, with the court stating no verdict would be given. The court affirmed her innocence after both parties dropped their complaints against each other, ordering Halimah Boland's release from prison today. According to "Al-Arabiya.net" sources, Halimah Boland was previously involved in a case of immorality and had disputes and negotiations with the complainant, Mohammed Al-Balushi, regarding a settlement of one and a half million dollars. The actress was sentenced to two years in prison, while the person who filed the lawsuit against her also received a two-year prison sentence. Both parties waived their claims today, and the court confirmed no verdict would be issued.
**Release Denial**
Kuwaiti media personality Halimah Boland was trending on social media in recent hours after the criminal court rejected her release in a case of incitement to immorality, postponing the matter to today, June 9. The Kuwaiti criminal court issued its ruling in April to imprison Halimah Boland for two years with hard labor and a fine of 2,000 Kuwaiti dinars. Her defense team submitted a request to the appeals court for her release pending the resolution of the case, following her arrest in early May and her subsequent transfer to the central prison. A Kuwaiti court rejected the media personality's release and set June 9 as the date to consider her appeal against the two-year prison sentence for "incitement to immorality."
