1 | Kuwait: Twitter Users Arrested then Released for “Insulting” Amir | Koety: Mpisera Twitter Nosamborina Ary Noafahana Noho ny “Fanebahany” Ny Emira |
2 | Four months ago, state security police in Kuwait arrested two Twitter and a YouTube user. | Efa-bolana lasa izay, nosamborin'ny polisim-panjakana ny mpisera Twitter roa sy mpisera YouTube. |
3 | On Thursday November 3, 2011, two Twitter users were called in and detained by the public prosecutor for violating the 54th article of the Kuwaiti constitution which states: “The Amir is the Head of the State. | Tamin'ny Alakamisy 3 Novembra 2011, mpisera Twitter roa no nampanantsoina ary notazonin'ny mpampanoa lalàna noho ny fandikana ny andininy faha-54 amin'ny Lalampanorenana Koesiana izay mametraka fa: “Ny Emira no Filohan'ny Fanjakana. |
4 | His person is immune and inviolable.” | Tsy azo kitihina sy tsikeraina ny tenany.” |
5 | Within 24 hours, Hamad AlOlayan (@hamadalolayan) and Tariq Al-mutairi (@al_tariq2009) were released. | Tao anatin'ny 24 ora, noafahana i Hamad AlOlayan (@hamadalolayan) sy i Tariq Al-mutairi (@al_tariq2009). |
6 | Yet, their cases will continue to be investigated. | Nefa mbola hitohy ny fanadihadiana. |
7 | Kuwaiti netizens were not happy with the arrests and sent support messages for the two. | Tsy faly tamin'ny fisamborana ny Koesiana ary nandefa hafatra fanohanana ho azy mirahalahy. |
8 | Many of them were not objecting to the interrogation but to the fact that Hamal AlOlayan was detained before being charged with any violation. | Tsy mitsikera ny fanadihadiana ny maro amin'izy ireo fa noho ny fitazonana an'i Hamal AlOlayan mialoha ny fiampangana azy. |
9 | Others were trying to show that the the two Twitter users in question did not disrespect the Amir and that what they wrote is open for interpretation. | Ny hafa kosa miezaka ny hampiseho fa tsy nanimbazimba ny Emira ny mpisera Twitter mirahalahy fa samy manana ny fandraisany izay nolazain'izy mirahalahy. |
10 | Hamad AlOlayan, left with his two children and father. | Hamad AlOlayan, eo ankavia miaraka amin'ny zanany roa sy ny rainy. |

12 | Kuwaiti Blogger Khamis Almutairi (@KhamisAlmutairi) commented on how the process was illegal [ar]: | Nilaza ny tsy maha-ara-dalàna ny fombafomba natao ny mpamaham-bolongana Koesiana Khamis Almutairi (@KhamisAlmutairi) [ar]: |
13 | @KhamisAlmutairi: The problem is not with interrogating Hamad AlOlayan, the problem is with detaining him. | @KhamisAlmutairi: Ny olana tsy tamin'ny nanadihadiana an'i Hamad AlOlayan, ny olana dia ny nitazonana azy. |
14 | Hamad did not directly insult [the Amir] and what he wrote is open for interpretation, so why this unfair detention? | Tsy nanompa [ny emira] mivantana i Hamad ary mbola azo iadian-kevitra ny zavatra nosoratany, ka nahoana no nasiana io fitazonana tsy ara-dalàna io? |
15 | Then he added [ar]: | Avy eo nanampy izy [ar]: |
16 | @KhamisAlmutairi: Hamad AlOlayan gets interrogated and detained while Sabah Al-Mohammed [of the ruling family] gets charged in court for insulting a parliamentarian then gets released to spend the rest of his sentence out of jail! | @KhamisAlmutairi: Nohadihadiana sy notazonina i Hamad AlOlayan nefa i Sabah Al-Mohammed [fianakavian'ny mpanjaka] izay voampanga ho nanompa parlemantera dia noafahana ka nandany ny androny ivelan'ny fonja mandra-piandry ny didim-pitsarana! |
17 | Injustice! | Tsy rariny! |
18 | Political activist Jassim Al-Qames (@JassimQ) tweeted in criticism of this act as well [ar]: | Misiokantsera ny tsikerany ihany koa ny mpikatroka politika Jassim Al-Qames (@JassimQ) [ar]: |
19 | @JassimQ: I do understand that there is a law and when someone violates it then he will be interrogated, but this should happen with respect to his human rights and without terrorizing him or treating him as a “piece of meat”… especially when he is not a physical threat! | @JassimQ: Tsy maintsy mahazo aho fa misy ny lalàna ka raha misy ny mandika izany dia hofotorana izy, saingy tokony ao anatin'ny fanajana ny zon'olombelona izany ary tsy tokony ampihorohoroana na karakaraina ho “vongan-kena”… indrindra moa fa tsy manana vatana mampatahotra izy! |
20 | @JassimQ: It is naive to think that you can arrest an idea, you are only making the person stronger. | @JassimQ: Zazabe ihany ny fieritreretana fa azo sakanana ny hevitra, manao izay hampatanjaka ilay olona fotsiny ianao. |
21 | Unfortunately, instead of fixing our policies, we are hunting down those who criticize, whatever their opinions. | Indrisy, raha tokony hametraka tsara ny politika isika, dia toa ilaozantsika misambotra izay mitsikera, na inona na inona hevitr'izy ireo. |
22 | Blogger Shurouq Muzaffar (@ShurouqM) reacted to the arrests news saying [ar]: | Mpamaha bolongana Shurouq Muzaffar (@ShurouqM) naneho hevitra mikasika ny fisamborana hafa indray ka nilaza hoe: |
23 | @ShurouqM: Kuwait has never had freedom the way some describe it. | @ShurouqM: Tsy mbola nahazo fahalalahana izay heverin'ny sasany tokony ho azony i Koety. |
24 | The ‘red' lines are old and the unfair practices are even older. | Efa taloha ny làlana “mena” ary efa taloha be indrindra ihany koa ny fomba fanao mamitapitaka. |
25 | @ShurouqM: It is not only the authorities that don't have a real belief in freedom, it is also the people and that's why we ended up in this position. | @ShurouqM: Tsy ireo manampahefana ihany no tsy manam-panantenana marina amin'ny fahafahana, fa ny vahoaka ihany koa ka izany indrindra no antony mahatonga antsika amin'izao toerana izao. |
26 | Activist and blogger Dhari Al-Jutaili (@Dhari_) has also condemned the arrests [ar]: | Mpikatroka sady mpamaha bolongana Dhari Al-Jutaili (@Dhari_) niampanga ny fisamborana ihany koa: |
27 | @Dhari_: I am against putting words out of the context and trying to provoke charges. | @Dhari_: Manohitra ny resabe mikasika ny zava-mitranga aho sy ny fikasana hanisy olana amin'izany. |
28 | Against the unfair detention of people who are of no threat to society. | Manohitra ny fitazonana tsy ara-dalàna ny olona tsy manohintohina ny fiaraha-monina aho. |
29 | Blocking them from traveling is enough. | Ampy ny tsy famelana azy ireo handeha any an-tany hafa. |
30 | Lawyer Bassam Alasousi (@Bassam_Alasousi) criticized the small protest that took place in front of the prime minister's house against the detention of the two Twitter users [ar]: | Mpisolo vava Bassam Alasousi (@Bassam_Alasousi) nitsikera ny fihetsiketsehana vitsy olona niseho teo anoloan'ny tranon'ny praiminisitra ho fanoherana ny fitazonana ireo mpisera Twitter roa: |
31 | @Bassam_Alasousi: Question: the arrests were based on a decision by the public prosecution after a complaint was filed by the Amir's Palace… so what does [Prime Minister] Nasser Al-Mohammed have to do with it for you to protest in front of his house? | @Bassam_Alasousi: Fanotaniana: nifototra tamin'ny fanapahan-kevitry ny mpampanoa lalàna ny fisamborana taorian'ny fitarainana napetraky ny Lapan'i Emira… araka izany, inona no azon'ny [Praiministra] Nasser Al-Mohammed atao amin'izany ho anao mba tsy hanao fihetsiketsehana eo anoloan'ny tranony? |
32 | On the other hand, journalist Mohammad Al-Baghli (@albaghli74) criticized the participation of parliamentarians in sit-ins for the freedom of the Twitter users [ar]: | Tetsy andaniny, mpanao gazety Mohammad Al-Baghli (@albaghli74) nitsikera ny fandraisan'ireo antenimiera anjara tamin'ny sit-in manohana ny fanafahana ny mpisera Twitter: |
33 | @albaghli74: Instead of participating in a sit-in, a parliament member should work on issuing a law for Internet publishing that protects everyone from the injustice of security authorities. | @albaghli74: Raha ilaozana mandany andro mandray anjara amin'ny sit-in, tokony hiasa mba hamoaka lalàna momba ny fahafahana mamoaka hevitra amin'ny Aterineto ny parlemanta ho fiarovana ny tsirairay manoloana ny tsy rariny ataon'ny manam-pahefana misahana ny fandriampahalemana. |

37 | Saudi-Kuwaiti tweep (@AwthahAbs) pointed to the power of Twitter [ar]: | Mpisera Twitter Saudi-Kuwaiti (@AwthahAbs) nanamarika ny tanjaka misy amin'ny Twitter [ar]: |
38 | @AwthahAbs: Detaining tweeps and calling them for interrogation only confirms that authorities know how powerful Twitter is and how capable it is of making change. | @AwthahAbs: Ny fanangadrana mpisera Twitter sy ny fiantsona azy ireo atao famotorana dia manamarina fa fantatry ny manampahefana ny tanjaka ananan'ny Twitter sy ny fiovana mety ho entiny. |
39 | After the release of Hamad AlOlayan, activist Khaled Alfedala (@Alfadala) who was detained when the Prime Minister sued him last year, suggested a gesture for the released tweep [ar]: | Taorian'ny namoahana an'i Hamad AlOlayan, mpikatroka Khaled Alfedala (@Alfadala) izay nogadraina ihany koa raha nitory azy ny Praiminisitra tamin'ny herintaona, nanolo-kevitra ny amin'ny tokony atao noho ny fahafahana ilay mpisera Twitter: |
40 | @Alfadala: A youth campaign to make Hamad AlOlayan's account reach 10,000 followers. | @Alfadala: Dokambarotry ny tanora mba hahatonga ny kaontin'i Hamad AlOlayan hahatratra mpanaraka 10,000. |
