Kuwait's lower court has sentenced three ruling family members to three months in jail each for attacking the offices of a private satellite television channel, a newspaper reported on Monday.
But the court told the men to pay 1,000 dinars ($3,636) each to suspend the jail term, the Al-Anbaa newspaper said, citing court documents. The ruling can still be challenged.
The men were convicted of firing shots at SCOPE TV in October last year and of causing damage to its offices and equipment after the channel aired a programme deemed offensive to the ruling Al-Sabah family.
