The Upper Hand Organization operates as an entity asserting that its responsibilities extend beyond national borders, with a revolutionary agenda grounded in Islam.[1]
History
The Upper Hand Organization promotes the ideologies of its founder, Mohamad Al-Mail, who was sentenced in absentia by the Kuwaiti Criminal Court on February 14, 2017. Following this ruling, the organization was banned in Kuwait.[2][3][4]
After the ban, Al-Mail left Kuwait and sought political asylum in the United Kingdom, where he was granted refuge on May 8, 2017. He successfully reestablished the organization in the UK, inaugurating its first office in Manchester on December 12, 2016.[5]
On January 17, 2023, the Kuwaiti Cabinet issued a statement regarding Amiri Decree No. 8 of 2023, which granted amnesty to 34 Kuwaitis, including Mohamad Al-Mail, who was exempted from prison sentences related to several state security cases.[6]
On September 21, 2024, during a pro-Palestine protest in London, Mohamad Al-Mail was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 due to allegations that his speeches contained anti-Semitic rhetoric and glorified proscribed organizations.[7][8][9][10]
