Cairo: Kuwaiti police have apprehended 10 suspects in connection with the leak of a crucial high school exam paper last week.
Last week, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Education cancelled the Islamic education exam after its questions and answers spread on social media, indicating a likely leak.
Just last month, a Kuwaiti court sentenced three individuals, including an expatriate, to five years in prison each for their involvement in a high school examination leak.
In December, another Kuwaiti court issued various prison terms to four individuals in a similar case. The Criminal Court sentenced a Kuwaiti man and woman to 10 and seven years in prison, respectively.
Additionally, another Kuwaiti man and an expatriate were each given a one-year jail term in connection with the same case.
