Kuwait revokes citizenship of six figures
The Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, issued a royal decree stripping six individuals of their citizenship, including prominent Shiite cleric Hussein Al-Mutawa, activists Abdulaziz Al-Fudri and Lulwa Al-Hussein, along with others such as Abdullah Al-Saleh, who is considered one of the most prominent opposition activists abroad. This occurred during a political period regarded as one of the worst in Kuwait’s history, with some observers viewing the decision as a reflection of the government’s increasing crackdown on opponents and activists. It is seen as part of policies aimed at revoking the citizenship of political opponents. The move drew widespread criticism, with concerns about a rise in targeting dissidents and the potential destruction of their families and property.
