A Kuwaiti rights activist says authorities have detained 15 people in recent days during protests by so-called “stateless” residents claiming that the state denies them citizenship.
Activist Hadeel Buqrais said on Wednesday that the demonstrators were held on suspicion of participation in illegal protests and inciting riots during demonstrations in Taima, a suburb north-west of the capital, Kuwait City. She says nine remain in custody.
