Law to punish those who “peep” in Kuwait

Member of the National Assembly of Kuwait D. Adel al-Damhi proposed to punish those who “peep” by any means with the intent to violate the privacy of others. These two penalties apply to anyone who peeps by any means with the intent to violate the privacy of others and see their private parts based on the victim’s complaint. An explanatory note to the proposed law, which has been submitted to the Legislative Committee, says it aims to remedy the shortcomings of the legislation by criminalizing eavesdropping on others to view their private parts and things that people normally keep secret. their private places, and there is no doubt that this shameful behavior requires the intervention of the legislator in order to punish this act, which constitutes an invasion of people’s privacy, with voyeurism of their private parts and bodies.
