Emirati artist Hussein Al Jasmi posted a brief tweet on his account on platform "X" following the announcement by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior regarding the arrest of actress Shjoon Al Hajr. His post sparked a wave of interaction across social media platforms.

In his short tweet, Al Jasmi wrote: “Whoever conceals [a fault], receives mercy.” This came just hours after the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior issued an official statement announcing the arrest of Shjoon Al Hajr on charges of possessing illegal substances and mind-altering drugs, as part of a large-scale anti-drug campaign in the country.

Tweet goes viralAlthough Al Jasmi did not mention Shjoon by name or refer explicitly to the incident, the timing of his tweet and its alignment with the trending news led many to link it directly to the arrest.

The tweet quickly went viral, garnering over half a million views in just one hour, along with thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.

Reactions varied—some viewed the tweet as a call for compassion and discretion, while others stressed the importance of legal accountability. Comments included: “Concealing is necessary, but mistakes must be addressed,” and “Everyone makes mistakes, but lessons must be learned,” while others stated, “Public shaming without a court ruling is unacceptable.”

Shjoon Al Hajr in a tough spotAs of now, Shjoon Al Hajr has not issued any official comment regarding the incident. However, the Ministry’s statement did include a personal photo of her alongside the seized items, which stirred major controversy and shock among her fans.

It is worth noting that Shjoon is considered one of the leading actresses in Gulf drama, with a rich portfolio of television and stage work—particularly productions aimed at children and teens—making the news even more distressing for her audience.
