科威特拥有规定，禁止对证人或鉴定人实行酷刑或强迫其改变证言，如发生在公职人员身上，由给予更严重的惩处。虽然没有明文规定为证人或被害人的保 护措施提供便利，但审判长享有是否适用这类措施的广泛自由裁量权。 另外，法庭有权适用程序要求，保护证人免予不相关的问题或恐吓企图，并可 对证人的身份不予公布，允许通过视频链接或其他手段提供证言，以及确保在 刑事诉讼程序的相关时间阶段听取被害人的关切考虑。根据科威特立法，被害 人如同证人同等对待。
Kuwait has provisions that prohibit persons from torturing or forcing a witness or expert to alter testimony, imposing heavier penalties on public officials. Although there are no express provisions that facilitate protective measures for witnesses or victims, the presiding judge is given broad discretion to apply such measures. In addition, the court has authority to apply procedural requirements to protect witnesses from irrelevant questions or attempts at intimidation, as well as the possibility of withholding a witness’s identity, allowing testimony to be given via video link or other means, and ensuring that the victim’s concerns are heard at relevant points in the criminal proceedings. Victims are treated as witnesses under Kuwaiti legislation.
