Kuwait City, 8th June 2022: #Kuwaiti woman jailed for 3 years over #Indian helper’s death Case dates back to 2020 when she was convicted of torturing maid to death A top court in Kuwait has revoked an earlier 10-year-jail term for a Kuwaiti woman and sentenced her instead to three years in prison on charges of torturing her Indian housemaid to death, a local newspaper has reported.

The case dates back to 2020 when both defendants were accused of human trafficking and abusing the housemaid by forcing her to work and confiscating her passport. The prime defendant was charged with fatally beating up the helper. Her lawyer said his client had been initially charged with premeditated murder, but investigations showed lack of evidence and that she did not intend to kill the housemaid.…

Kuwait City, 4th June 2022: India has sent a team of foreign ministry officials to Afghanistan for the first time following the Taliban takeover of the country last August 2021. Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi hosted the Indian delegation for a meeting focusing on bilateral diplomatic relations, trade and humanitarian aid, said a Taliban post-meeting statement Thursday.

Traditions of Eid Al Adha Eid al-Adha concludes the Pilgrimage to Mecca. Eid al-Adha lasts for three days and commemorates Ibrahim's (Abraham) willingness to obey God by sacrificing his son. The same story appears in the Bible and is familiar to Jews and Christians. One key difference is that Muslims believe the son was Ishmael rather than Isaac as told in the Old Testament. Eid Al Lahma, which means the 'meat Eid' According to the Quran, Ibrahim was about to sacrifice his son when a voice from heaven stopped him and allowed him to make something else as a 'great sacrifice'. In the Old Testament, it is a ram that is sacrificed instead of the son. In Islam, Ishmael is regarded as a prophet and an ancestor of Muhammad. During the feast of Eid Al Adha, Muslims re-enact Ibrahim's obedience by sacrificing a cow or ram. The family will eat about a third of the meal a third goes to friends and relatives, and the remaining third is donated to the poor and needy. The giv…
